Christmas Tree Krispy Treats

We are starting to get festive in our house! We have our tree up, and some of our decorations out. We have also been working on some fun holiday treats for this year. Christmas is one of our favorite holidays! I personally love the gift giving (and shopping) the most, but my second favorite part of this time of the year is the food!

Christmas is all about happiness, and spreading the joy. You really can’t go wrong with sharing sweet treats, and baked goods with friends, and family. They are especially good when they are homemade! You can make even the simplest of recipes special by adding just a few extra touches. Such as the case with these Christmas Tree Krispy Treats! I have never known a person that would turn down a Rice Krispie Treat! It has become a favorite classic, and in this recipe we are making them even more appealing by adding some simple decorations! They turned out really cute, and would go great in some pretty packaging as a gift, or layed out on a holiday platter as part of your holiday celebration this year!

Mice Krispy Treats

My little girl, and I decided to come up with a fun post Halloween recipe to creep everyone out, We had a box of of Cocoa Pebbles we needed to get through, and just so happened to of had a bag of marshmallows hiding away in the back of one of my cabinets. So we knew we were making some cereal treats!

At first we were going to mold them into something to do with poo, but we had just put together a nice poo filled Kitty Litter Cake (see recipe) the week before. The brown color of the chocolate cereal reminded me of mice, and I realized how easily you could mold their shape. And so our Mice Krispy Treats were born!

We really enjoyed ourselves putting this one together! Adding all of the little features kind of gives each of them their own personality. These are a tasty addition to our recipe collection for sure! Check out the recipe below, and give it a try yourself!

Description

For Halloween, or anytime, these Mice Krispy Treats are a fun twist on the classic Rice Krispie Treats that everyone loves!

Ingredients

Scale

5 cups of Cocoa cereal
1/2 stick butter
1 bag of mini marshmallows
Bag of Tootsie Rolls
Handful of mini chocolate chips
Chocolate Icing
Marshmallow Cream
A handful of whole or pre-sliced almonds
Pan spray
Cake pan or container (9″X13″)

Instructions

Spray the bottom, and sides of your Pan – set aside
Melt Butter in a deep Pot
Add in Marshmallows and stir around until they have melted completely
Add in Cocoa Cereal, and mix until it is completely coated
Quickly dump your Cereal mix into your pan, and spread out evenly
Allow to cool for about 15 minutes then cut into squares about the size of how big you want your mice to be
Spray hands lightly with cooking spray
Remove a square, and roughly mold into the shape of a mouse using your hands
When finished place on a tray, and repeat with the rest of the treat squares
Remove Tootsie Rolls from wrapper, and roll in hands to make mice tails, and short whiskers
Lift up the treats, and place the tails by pressing the candy into the treat
Use small dollops of Marshmallow Cream for eyes, and add a mini chocolate chip to each
Add a small amount of chocolate icing to the nose area, place on your whiskers, and add more icing on top to finish the nose.
Slice your almonds, and stick just above the eyes to make the ears
Place your mice on a decorative tray, and adjust the tail away from the mouse body for a nice effect
Place in the refrigerator until serving

Notes

Idea: Instead of using tootsie rolls for the whiskers, cut black licorice whips – much easier!
