Next up in our collection of Christmas Rice Krispie Treats<\/a><\/strong>: ORNAMENT Rice Krispie Treats! <\/p>\n\n\n\n With only five ingredients, whip up these fun, easy treats for your Christmas cookie trays, for gifts, for dessert, or just because. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Start with our BEST ever, three-ingredient,\u00a0award-winning Rice Krispie Treat recipe\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>and make red Rice Krispie Treats.<\/a><\/strong> Roll into balls and top with Rolo candy. That's it! <\/p>\n\n\n You only need three ingredients, plus red food coloring and Rolo candy. <\/p>\n\n\n Line a baking tray with wax or parchment paper and set aside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Place 4 \u2154 cups of cereal in a large, greased bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n Start to melt 4 tablespoons butter in the saucepan over low heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add 10 ounces of marshmallows (about 40 regular size or 6 cups mini) and melt, stirring occasionally, until about 75 percent melted. Remove from the heat and stir until fully melted and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add the marshmallows and butter to the greased, microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute. Let sit a couple minutes and then stir very well until fully melted and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Add a few drops of red food coloring to the marshmallow mixture and stir well. Continue to add food coloring until desired shade is achieved. <\/p>\n\n\n Pour over the cereal and blend very well with a greased spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n Divide the mixture into 10 pieces and roll each into a ball. Place on the baking tray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TIP: Grease your hands for easy rolling! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not worry if the balls are perfectly round. They will be easier to shape once they firm a bit. <\/p>\n\n\n Let firm about 2 hours, reshape if needed, and top with a Rolos candy. The treats should be sticky enough for the candy to adhere, but if not, you can add a dab of light corn syrup or honey to help attach the candy.<\/p>\n\n\n Do NOT overheat the marshmallows! This will cause your treats to become hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We recommend pouring the hot marshmallows over the cereal instead of the cereal into the hot bowl. This helps with the consistency of the treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I chose to make red Rice Krispie Treats, but try other colors. Green Rice Krispie Treats <\/a><\/strong>are a great option, but we have instructions to make every color of Rice Krispie Treats. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n![\"Christmas](\"https:\/\/howtomakecerealtreats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/2_Rice-krispie-treat-christmas-ornaments.jpg\")
