Marshmellow Treat Ornaments

Yum-Yum-Yum-O

I love trying new recipes for the holidays but bringing out the classics as well! This is a delicious combo of both. The classic rice crispy treat but with a new holiday twist. I found this recipe from the Pampered Chef cookbook Festive Holiday Desserts, if you're interested.

Here's the recipe:
6 tbsp butter
2 1/2 cups miniature or 18 large marshmellows
2-3 tsp red or green food coloring
5 cups crisp rice cereal
16 pieces of thin licorice (twizzlers/red vines)
16 gummy ring candies
3 tbsp decorating sugar or sprinkles

Christmas Card Activity

Christmas Card Craft:
Using craft holiday paper let your kids create a few Christmas cards for their closest friends and family. Let them pick out the paper, then trace a shape, cut it out, then decorate however they wish using glitter, marker, whatever they wish. And add a drawing or personal note on the inside. Junior even suggested adding a little picture.

Sharp concentration of the cutting :)

Use whatever shapes you have. This is a scrapbooking stencil but you could use cookies cutters or play dough cutter shapes.

Didn't want the lovely glitter all over the table so we used plates. Then let them sit to dry for over an hour.

Add a hanger or pipe cleaner so the recipient can hang it on the tree, if they wish.

Happy Holidays!
