Ingredients

• 6 cup Rice Krispies Cereal
• 3 tbsp Butter
• 10.5 oz Marshmallows
• Green Food Coloring
• 12 Miniature Reeses Cups
• ⅓ cup M&M Minis
• 12 Candy Stars
• 3 cup Powdered Sugar
• 3 tbsp Milk
• 3 tbsp Corn Syrup

Directions

• To help in forming the cone shape, I took the foam that comes in a waffle cone pack to protect the cones and cut it to make a form to help shape the trees.
• Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium to large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
• Add enough food coloring to make mixture dark green (it will lighten when cereal is added).
• Remove from heat.
• Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until cereal is well coated.
• Allow to set about 4 minutes.
• Butter your hands and form mixture into cone shapes.
• Place cones onto prepared pan.
• Allow to cool and firm up for several hours.
• Mix powdered sugar, milk and corn syrup in a bowl until smooth.
• Transfer to piping bag or zippered bag to pipe onto cookies.
• Pipe like a garland around each tree.
• Space M&M minis like ornaments onto the garland.
• Pipe a dab of icing on top of tree to act as glue and attach star.
• Place a Reeses upside down on pan. Pipe icing on it and place tree on top.
• Allow to set before serving.
