Rice Krispie Treat Balls

        It was my daughters 15th birthday and we decided to make these little treats for her classroom. WE found the recipe on ricekrispies.com. We dipped some in sprinkles and some we melted semi- sweet chocolate chips and splattered on the chocolate with a spoon. it was messy but fun:) I didnt have any bags so i improvised and cut off the zipper lock on sandwich bags, tied with ribbon and some homemade tags.

         Enjoy!! and Happy Birthday baby girl!


  Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz. about 40) regular marshmallows
or
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Kelloggs Rice Krispies cereal
12 wooden ice cream sticks ( we used cookie sticks, they were longer)
multi- colored sprinkles
Semi-sweet chocolate morsels, melted

Directions:
 1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

2. Add Kelloggs Rice Krispies cereal. stir until well coated.( we let the mixture sit until cooled its alot easier to shape into balls)

3. Using 1/2 cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray divide warm cereal mixture into portions. using buttered hands shape each portion into a ball. ( we just eyeballed it). cool. insert wooden stick. We had to shape the balls a little around the stick to make sure it was secure. Decorate!
