Ingredients
¼cupbutter
4cupsminiature marshmallows
½tspvanilla
2drops of green gel food coloring
6cupsrice cereal
Clover cookie cutter
Heart cookie cutter
½cupgreen candy melts
2tspcoconut oil
Gold sprinkles
Instructions
Coat a baking sheet generously with butter and set aside.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted.
Lower heat. Once marshmallow mixture has melted, add vanilla and fold. Add food coloring and stir until marshmallow mix is completely colored.
Remove from heat (your marshmallows should have a stretchy, gooey consistency) and fold in rice cereal.
Place mixture into your buttered baking sheet and spread evenly. Lay a piece of parchment across the cereal treats and use a rolling pin to create an even top (these cereal treats are thinner than most). Using your cookie cutters, cut out your desired shapes (and enjoy the scraps!) Place on a separate baking sheet (lined with parchment paper).
Microwave candy melts and coconut oil in 30-second intervals until completely melted. Dip a portion of each cereal treat into candy melts and place on lined baking sheet. Top off with gold sprinkles.
