Snowmen Treats

Snowmen Treats

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows
- OR - 4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups rice krispies cereal
Canned frosting or decorating gel
M&M's chocolate candies

In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
Add rice krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.

Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Using 4-inch cookie cutter coated with cooking spray cut into snowman shapes. (If desired, use 2-, 1 3/4- and 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutters coated with cooking spray to cut into circles.)

Decorate snowmen with frosting and/or M&M's chocolate candies. (If using circles, for each snowman connect three different sized circles together with frosting. Decorate with remaining frosting and/or M&M's.) Best if served the same day.

Microwave Directions
In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 thru 4 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.

**For best results, use fresh marshmallows.

**1 jar (7 oz.) marshmallow crème can be substituted for marshmallows.
