Christmas Rice Krispie Treats - Grinch Style!
These Rice Krispie Treats are perfectly ooey , wonderfully crunchy and adorable to look at! They are easy to whip up with the kids and are ready in 5 minutes.
Servings 16 squares
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Margarine/Butter
- 5 cups Mini Marshmallows or 40 regular marshmallows
- 8-10 drops Green Food Coloring
- 1/2 tsp Vanilla
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- Christmas Sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare 8" x 8" pan by lightly coating with butter to prevent your rice krispie treats from sticking later on
- Using a large microwave safe bowl, melt margarine on high for 30 seconds until it is melted. Add marshmallows and toss until they are coated (they will have a glisten).
- Microwave for 30 seconds, remove and stir with a wooden spoon. Continue to microwave in 30 second increments until they are smooth when stirred (about 1.5 mins)
- Working quickly, add vanilla and food coloring and stir to combine. Add in cereal and stir until evenly coated. It will be super sticky so you will want a bowl of hot water and metal spoon for pressing into your pan.
- Gently press into your prepared 8 x 8 pan, and use the hot metal spoon to even out any bumpy sections.
- Immediately top with red and green sprinkles and hearts, lightly pressing so they stick into the bars. Allow to cool before cutting.
