Fruity Marshmallow Treats

Fruity Marshmallow Treats start with two kinds of crispy cereal that is mixed in a buttery marshmallow coating.

How was your weekend? I hope you had time to enjoy it. This weekend started my canning season for the year. I am starting with my Dilly Beans. Dilly Beans are basically pickled beans. A great way to preserve the green beans from the garden. My only problem, the green beans got a wrinkly and I have no idea why. Anyone out there know the answer or have a solution for this? Any answers or solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Saturday night I sat at a Tiki Bar and enjoyed a sunset at the lake. It was so beautiful, if only I lived on a lake and could enjoy it every night.

My twist on Rice Krispie Treats is Fruity Marshmallow Treats. I love the fruit flavored cereal that is added in, it not only tastes good but it looks good as well.

Fruity Marshmallow Treats is the perfect recipe to make for a picnic, a family reunion, a bake sale, a kids (or adults) birthday party or school treat. These come together rather quickly because the marshmallow mixture is made in the microwave.

Enjoy!

Peppermint Bark Puppy Chow

December 16, 2013 by Kay Leave a Comment

Peppermint Bark Puppy Chow is my featured treat today, Day 8 of of the Twelve Days of Christmas Treats. It’s a mix of Rice Chex cereal, peppermint candy canes, white chocolate and red sprinkles, the end result is a crunchy, minty snack. This treat is hard to stop eating once you start, it’s that good! 🙂

This treat would be perfect for a teacher, co-worker, friend, or anyone you want to give a small gift to. Just wrap it up in a Christmas tin, glass jar or decorative Christmas container, add a bow and ribbon and presto, the perfect treat for someone special. I know when it get’s this close to Christmas, I tend to scrounge for last minute gift ideas for everyone and a home made gift always adds a personal touch.

Reindeer Chow

It’s Day 3 of The Twelve Days of Christmas and today’s recipe is Reindeer Chow. I love the name of this snack, I think kid’s will get a kick out of it. Pair this treat with a cup of hot chocolate!

This snack is filled with M&M’s, pretzels, Rice Chex, Cheerios and peanuts. On top of all of that is white chocolate and colorful cookie decorations. I truly enjoy pretzels dipped in white chocolate and you can find me making some kind of candy/snack with this combination in my kitchen at Christmas time.

Reindeer Chow

Ingredients

3 cups Rice Chex cereal
3 cups Cheerios cereal

3 cups pretzel pieces
2 cups red & green M&Ms
½ cup cookie decorations, I used green jimmies with red berries
20 ounces white chocolate
3½ tablespoons solid coconut oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions

Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper; set aside.
In a very large bowl, mix together the Rice Chex, Cheerios, peanuts, pretzels and M&Ms.
In a saucepan, melt the white chocolate and coconut oil over low heat until melted, continually stir once it starts to melt.
Pour the melted chocolate over the dry ingredients and quickly toss together using two large spoons until everything is pretty evenly coated in the white chocolate. Spread the mixture out on the prepared pan and refrigerate until it's set, about 20 minutes. Break up any chunks and store in tins or airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
