Recipe: Ingredients:
3 tbsp. butter
32 lg. or 3 c. miniature marshmallows
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. green food color
4 c. O-shaped puffed oat cereal
Small gumdrops
DIRECTIONS:
In large saucepan, heat butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and food color. Fold in cereal until evenly coated. On waxed paper, quickly shape warm mixture with buttered hands into Christmas tree shapes, using about 2/3 cup mixture for each place-card-size tree or 1/4 cup mixture for each cookie-size tree. For ornaments, cut gumdrops into 3 or 4 slices and press onto trees. Makes 6 to 8 place-card-size trees or 16 to 20 cookie-size trees.
Cereal Christmas Balls: Shape mixture into balls, using about 1/2 cup mixture for each. Cut gumdrops into fourths and press onto balls. Makes 8 balls.
