Rice Krispie Wreaths

Of course you have to make a few of these quick and easy treats sometime during the holidays! We made them for Family Home Evening a week ago. You can always make them with corn flakes instead of Rice Krispies for more of a "leafy" look. Enjoy!

Rice Krispie Wreaths

3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1 (10 ounce) package regular marshmallows
1 teaspoon green food coloring
6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Red cinnamon candies
Prepared frosting

In large saucepan, melt margarine over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in food coloring. Add Rice Krispies cereal. Sir until well coated.
Using 1/4 cup dry measure coated with cooking spray, evenly portion warm cereal mixture. Using buttered fingers, quickly shape into individual wreaths. (I found it was easier to wet my hands, form a ball with the Rice Krispies mixture, and then poke a finger through the middle to spread out the center. Didn't stick at all.) Dot with cinnamon candies. Use prepared frosting to hold candies in place.
