Rice Krispy Ornaments -- trim a holiday plate with these edible ornaments!



Trim a holiday plate with these edible ornaments!

Who doesn't love Rice Krispy treats? Now you can fashion them into simple but festive edible ornaments and use them to adorn your cookie trays!






Rice Krispy Ornaments  Makes 6 or 7
1 batch RiceKrispy treats (made w/ butter, marshmallows & rice cereal)
Butter
Holiday-colored sugar, sprinkles or jimmies

Rolo® candies
(or you could use miniature marshmallows)
Toothpicks

1.     Butter your hands well; shape the cereal mixture into six or seven tightly packed balls. (Even with disposal gloves that have been buttered, this is a sticky mess. I found that if I first added a portion of the Rice Krispie mixture to a custard cup, that had been sprayed with pan release, then pushed it into shape, it was much easier to form into a ball shape.) 

2.     Roll the balls in colored sugar until coated.
Again, I used custard cups -- adding the sugar to a cup and then rolling the ball around in the cup.
3.     For the top of the ornament, stick a toothpick into one end of a wrapped Rolo® candy; insert the other end into the Rice Krispy ornament.
