Equipment

Ingredients

10 oz bag mini marshmallows
3 Tbsp butter
green coloring
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
3 Tbsp red round sprinkles such as Wilton
12 - 15 Reeses peanut butter cups miniatures
12-15 yellow M&Ms Minis

Instructions

In a large pot over medium heat, melt marshmallows and butter together. Stir until smooth. Mix in some green food coloring to achieve desired color.
Mix in cereal and stir until well-coated. Allow to cool for 1 minute or until cool enough to touch.
With greased hands, shape about 1/3 cup of the mixture into a small cone, pressing firmly. Place on a sheet of parchment or waxed paper. Shape the remaining cereal mixture. You will end up with about 12-15 trees.
Decorate each cone with red sprinkles and top it with a yellow candy.
Once trees are decorated, place each on top of a Reese's mini peanut butter cup. Makes 12-15 trees.
