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.
