Christmas Rice Krispies Treats Wreath
Christmas Rice Krispies treats that are green and in the shape of a wreath are a fun and tasty holiday treat. This easy no-bake recipe is gluten-free, only requires a few ingredients, and takes only 15 minutes to make.
Equipment
- 9" Bundt Pan
- cooking spray
Ingredients
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
- 5 ½ Cups mini marshmallows 10 oz package
- 5 - 6 drops/squirts green gel food coloring
- 5 ½ Cups Rice Krispies rice cereal
- cookie icing, red hot candies, other candies and sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once it is melted, add the mini marshmallows. Continue to stir over medium heat until it is melted completely and smooth without any marshmallow pieces still visible. As soon as the marshmallows are smooth, turn the heat to low.
- While still stirring, add green food coloring. Add as much as you need to create the color you desire. I recommend about 5 squirts.
- Once the marshmallow mixture is green, turn the heat of the stove off. Now slowly add the Rice Krispies to the pot and using the rubber spatula, stir to combine. Make sure all the cereal is coated with the marshmallow. Once the rice cereal and marshmallows are combined, it is ready to get put into a bundt pan.
- Spray the bundt pan with cooking spray so it does not stick. Now using the rubber spatula, scoop and spread the green rice crispy mixture into the bundt pan. Make sure the top is even so it is level when you plate it later.
- Let it completely cool and set for about 5 minutes.
- Once the rice crispies are set, you will invert the bundt pan onto a plate.
- Using the cookie icing, knead it and snip off the end closest to the tip. This will allow you to use the finest amount of icing. Add icing to the top of the wreath or directly to the red hot candies. “Glue” the red hots to the top of the Rice Krispies with the icing. I like them in clusters of 3 to resemble holly on the green marshmallow rice crispies.
- To serve, cut into wedges and place them on a plate.
Notes
BASED on the rice krispies only cut into 7 pieces - calories will vary based on how you decorated -
