Instructions

1. The base for our Christmas Wreath Rice Krispie Treats is our Best Ever Rice Krispie Treat Recipe which we have adjusted and perfected over the years until it is now absolutely the best Rice Krispie Treat recipe we have ever tasted.  You can find all the directions you’ll need to make these delicious treats right here. You need to make a 3 cup batch (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal) of Rice Krispie Treat mixture.
2. Tint the Rice Krispie Treat mixture green.  Add the food coloring BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.  We use Wilton Color Right Food Coloring.  It creates very vibrant colors without having to use a lot of food coloring.  Here is the Food Coloring Formula we used:  6 drops of yellow and 3 drops of Blue
3. Use Cherry Fruit by the Foot to make the bow for the wreath. Cut the Fruit by Foot in half vertically and cut off about a 6-8" strip. Fold into a bow shape and pinch the center delicately so the shape holds its place. Trim the tails on the bow. Use one of the tails to make a small cylinder and press it onto the center of the bow. Pinch it onto the bow. Make six of these bows.
4. Grab a handful of the green Rice Krispie Treat mixture.
5. Shape the mixture into Wreath-like rings.
6. Finally, embellish the Christmas Wreath Rice Krispie Treats with six red Mini M&M's and the Fruit by the Foot bow.    Make sure you do this part while the green Rice Krispie Treat mixture is still warm and sticky or the M&M's will fall off later.
7. Allow the Wreaths to completely cool before you store them.
