Instructions
1. Prepare a half sheet pan by layering with parchment and misting with baking spray or coconut oil.
2. Melt the butter in a large pot.
3. Stir in the marshmallows and stir with a silicone spatula until melted.
4. Working quickly, add the cereal and stir to combine fully with the melted marshmallow mixture. Transfer to your prepared dish. Gently press into an even layer.
5. Allow the bars to sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
6. While the treats are cooling, melt the candy melts or color your frosting.
7. Slice the treats into rectangles or use a round cutter to create circles.
8. Spread white frosting or chocolate onto each treat, using an angled spatula or spoon to smooth the surface.
9. Place green frosting or melted chocolate into a sandwich zip top bag. Snip a small corner from the bag making it a mini piping bag.
10. Gently squeeze and create the squiggle trees on top of the white frosting in the center of your treats.
11. Add holiday sprinkles for a fun festive finishing touch.
Notes
Always butter the dish before you press down the cereal treats. This will help ensure you can get them out when you are ready to eat them.
Butter your fingers to help keep the marshmallows from sticking as you press them down. You could also butter a piece of wax paper and use that to press the treats as well!
GENTLY press the treats down. You only want them lightly pressed into the pan. Pressing too hard will result in less gooey and more crunchy bars.
Keep the bars stored in a covered container on the counter for the best shelf life.
