Perfect Little Gift or Snack idea for the Holidays!

This is so easy it doesn't even need a recipe! (Well it kind of does, but you can find it on a box of rice krispies.) I wanted to give a little something to my friends for the holidays, but I'm fortunate to have a lot of friends! That can get a little pricey giving them all gifts. So I needed to come up with something that could be done pretty easily, relatively cheaply, but made with lost of love. Thanks to pintrest I found the perfect idea.

I just made 2 batches of rice krispie treats. Right before I poured in the cereal I died the marshmallow mixture red in one batch and green in the other. I finished making the treats and then let them cool. The cooling part is ESSENTIAL! You will never be able to get them to mold if you try to do it while they are still warm. So take them out of the pot set them on parchment paper, and let them cool off for a few minutes.

After they cooled I rolled them into balls and put a rollo on top to make it look like a little ornament! The goal was to give each friend a red and a green one, but I ended up not having enough :(. That's ok! I put them in little baggies and tied them up with red and green ribbon and Wah la! (I don't really know how to spell that, but you get my gist). They were tasty, and it seemed like everyone appreciated it. Sometimes it's not the size of the gift, but just that you thought to make something. I know that sounds cliche, but everyone likes to get gifts even if it's just a little something. The fact that you took the time to MAKE it just makes it even better!

Happy Baking!
