Christmas Rice Krispie Presents
Christmas Rice Krispie Presents are one of the easiest Christmas treats you can make! These adorable little presents look great on cookie trays and kids love them!
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- red string licorice
- candy sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Grease a 9" x 13" pan and set aside.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat (I use my stainless steel Dutch oven for this). Stir in the vanilla.
- Add the marshmallows and stir well, allowing them to melt.
- Remove the pan from the heat, and add the Rice Krispies (and candy sprinkles, if using), stirring until all is combined and the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared 9" x 13" pan using a buttered spatula.
- Allow to cool, and cut into present shapes (squares or rectangles) and then tie each one with a red licorice string.
