Yield: 10 Servings

25 5 30

Ingredients

1/4 cup butter, cubed
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
1 package (10 ounces) large marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies
Pretzel sticks, assorted candies and/or Fruit Roll-ups, cut into thin strips
Vanilla frosting
Flaked coconut

Directions

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add cinnamon and marshmallows; stir until blended and marshmallows are melted. Remove from the heat. Stir in cereal until coated. Use mixture to shape trees or snowmen.
For trees, press mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan; cool completely. Cut into triangles.
For snowmen, cool cereal mixture slightly; shape into different-sized balls using buttered hands. Stack balls to make snowmen.
To decorate, attach pretzels, candies and/or Fruit Roll-ups with frosting. Arrange cereal treats on a platter; surround with coconut. Serve the same day for best texture. Yield: about 10 trees or 6 snowmen.
