SNICKERS Mini Christmas Tree Treats


These no-bake Snickers Christmas tree treats will spread a lot of holiday joy.

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Makes: 12 servings

Ingredients:

24 SNICKERS® Minis, divided

2 tbsp butter

3 cups mini marshmallows

2 tsp vanilla extract

4 cups toasted rice cereal

3 oz green candy melts, melted

3 tbsp round white sprinkles

12 white candy stars (optional)

Instructions:

Chop half of the SNICKERS®; set aside.

Melt butter in large saucepan set over low heat; stir in marshmallows for 3 to 5 minutes or until completely melted. Stir in vanilla. Remove from heat.

Immediately stir in cereal. Fold in chopped SNICKERS®. Scrape into bowl; let cool slightly.

Scoop cereal into twelve 1/4 cup portions (reserve remaining mixture for another use). Using wet or lightly buttered hands, mold each portion into cone shape to resemble Christmas trees. Let cool completely.

One at a time, dip Christmas trees upside down into melted candy melts to coat tree, without coating the bottom. Decorate trees with sprinkles, and stars (if using), before candy melts have set fully so sprinkles adhere to tree. Let cool completely.

Create your Christmas tree bases by sticking a toothpick into each remaining SNICKERS®. Thread bottom of tree onto toothpick to adhere to SNICKERS®.

Tips:

• Wrap these treats up individually in festive holiday cellophane for easy gift-giving.

• For a fun activity for the kids, set them up with an array of holiday sprinkles and frostings so they can personalize their trees. They can leave them out for Santa, too.
