Bicycle Crispies Recipe

Prep: 45 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

45 45

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) large marshmallows, divided
3 tablespoons plus 4-1/2 teaspoons butter, divided
6 cups chocolate-flavored crisp rice cereal
3 cups plain crisp rice cereal
1 cup vanilla frosting
9 Life Savers
6 pretzel sticks
12 Tart 'n' Tinys candies or M&M's miniature baking bits

Directions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat 40 marshmallows and 3 tablespoons butter, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes or until melted. Stir in chocolate rice cereal. With buttered hands, press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan. In another large microwave-safe bowl, melt 20 marshmallows with remaining butter, uncovered, on high for 1-2 minutes. Stir in plain rice cereal. With buttered hands, press into a greased 9-in. square pan.
Invert both pans onto cutting boards. Using a 2-1/2-in. round biscuit cutter, cut 12 circles from chocolate cereal mixture. Using a 2-1/2-in. triangle or Christmas tree cookie cutter, cut six triangles from plain cereal mixture.
For each bicycle, place one triangle point down on work surface; gently press two circles on either side of triangle for wheels. Using a #3 round pastry tip, pipe frosting spokes onto wheels and outline triangles.
For bicycle seat, attach a Life Saver with frosting to one side of triangle top. Insert a pretzel stick into one wheel; angle toward center of bicycle. For handlebars, cut one Life Saver in half; attach near the top of pretzel stick. Press a Tart 'n' candy into the center of each wheel. Yield: 6 bicycles.
