Supplies:

  • Sauce pan
  • Measuring cups/measuring spoons
  • Mixing spoon
  • Christmas tree cookie cutter shape
  • Aluminum foil


Directions:

  1. Melt the butter over medium heat in the saucepan. Stir in 1 1/2 jars of the marshmallow creme. Continue stirring until melted.
  2. Stir in several drops of green food coloring until you reach your desired shade of green.
  3. Stir in the rice krispies, coating with the marshmallow mixture. If you’re having a child help with this part be sure to transfer the melted marshmallow mixture to a bowl away from the heat before adding the rice krispies for stirring.
  4. Pour the mixture onto a flat piece of aluminum foil (or baking paper) and place a second piece on top. Use a rolling pin or cup to flatten the rice krispy mixture to about 1/2″ thick.
  5. Press the cookie cutter into the rice krispies to cut out the tree shapes.
  6. Unwrap the squares of Starburst candy. Break a small piece off of the square and roll into a small ball. Press on the rice krispy treat Christmas trees to decorate. We used yellow and red candy.
