I don’t care what they tell you, it is HARD to dye a rice krispie treat when you are making it! The food coloring never seems to quite change anything other than the color of the marshamallow and that never totally covers the cereal. By starting out with a colored rice cereal, these Fun Krispie Rudolph Treats come out perfectly!

Fun Krispie Rudolph Treats

You will need:
3 Tablespoons butter
1 (10 ounce) package miniature marshmallows
6 cups chocolate crisp cereal like Cocoa Pebbles
Red gumdrops (1 for each treat)
Large candy eyes (2 for each treat)
Miniature pretzel twist (2 for each treat)
1/2 cup mick chocolate morsels

Instructions

1. Prepare a 13 x 9 baking sheet with wax paper and a spritz of non-stick cooking spray.

2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. When the butter is melted, add the marshmallows and melt, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from heat.
3. Fold in the cereal. Stir until the cereal is coated in the marshmallow.
4. Using a buttered spatula or greased wax paper evenly press mixture into baking sheet. Cool completely.

5. Use a biscuit cutter or large mouth jar/glass to cut treats into circles. If the round treats are loose, press them together slightly. Reshape the remaining cereal in your baking pan until all is cut into circles.

6. Place milk chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Melt on high heat, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Do not overheat.

7. Lightly dip one side of a pretzel into the chocolate and immediately press against the top of the round treat. Repeat on the other side to create reindeer antlers.

8. Using a toothpick, apply melted chocolate to the gumdrops and candy eyes and then press into the treats.

9. All to dry completely before packaging or serving.
