Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 16 oz. marshmallows
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 10 cups Rice Krispie cereal
  • 16 oz colored chocolate candy wafer melts (plus more for decorating)
  • sprinkles (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Add the candy wafers to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of melted candy wafers into each silicone mold. Use the back of a spoon to spread the melted chocolate evenly across the bottom of each mold.
  • Place the molds in the refrigerator until the candy coating has completely hardened.
  • In a large stockpot, melt butter over medium low heat.
  • Once butter is melted, add in marshmallows. Gently stir frequently until all marshmallows are melted.
  • Remove from heat and add in vanilla and sweetened condensed milk. Stir until well combined.
  • Fold in Rice Krispie cereal and stir until well coated.
  • Remove the molds from the refrigerator and spoon the Rice Krispie mixture into each mold. Press down firmly to fill each mold evenly and create a compact tree shape.
  • Return the molds to the refrigerator for about 45 minutes, or until the treats are fully set.
  • Carefully pop each Rice Krispie tree out of the silicone molds.

Optional Decorating

  • Melt additional candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, using 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each Rice Krispie tree.
  • While the chocolate is still wet, add your favorite Christmas sprinkles or other festive decorations.
  • Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving or packaging for gifts.

Notes

For this recipe, I used these triangle shaped silicone molds on Amazon. You can find them here.
