Get creative with kids to make festive edible decorations using Cheerios®!
Ingredients:
  • 6 cups Honey Nut Cheerios™ cereal
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 4 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • Betty Crocker™ green gel food color
  • Betty Crocker™ red cinnamon decors or sliced gumdrops
Instructions:
  • Prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with waxed paper.
  • Transfer the cereal into a spacious 4-quart bowl for later use.
  • In a 3-quart saucepan, melt the butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth. Remove from heat.
  • Blend in the food color until the mixture is uniformly colored. Drizzle the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and mix until evenly coated.
  • Grease your hands with cooking spray, then mold approximately 1/4 cup of the cereal mixture into a festive Christmas tree shape on the cookie sheet.
  • Decorate the trees by pressing the candies on top. Chill in the refrigerator until firm, approximately 1 hour. Keep the decorated trees stored in a container with a loose cover.
