Time 1h45m

Yield 18

Number Of Ingredients 5

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

Steps:

  • Line a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
  • Pour the cereal into a 4-quart bowl. Set the bowl aside.
  • Place the butter and marshmallows in a 3-quart saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • Stir in the food color until the mixture is evenly colored. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir until the cereal is evenly coated.
  • Lightly spray your hands with cooking spray. For each tree, shape about 1/4 cup of the cereal mixture into a Christmas tree shape on the cookie sheet.
  • Press the candies into the trees to decorate. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store the trees in a loosely covered container.
