Cheerio Xmas Tree Treats

Preparation

• 1
  In a bowl, place the marshmallows and butter together and melt in the microwave on high for 40 seconds.
• 2
  Mix well with a spoon.
• 3
  Add green food colouring until you have the colour you like.
• 4
  Pour Cheerio’s into the marshmallow mix and stir well to coat. Leave to cool until the mixture becomes tacky.
• 5
  You may need to put it in the fridge if it is a warm day.
• 6
  Cover a tray with baking paper. Spray your hands with canola spray and shape the Cheerio’s mixture into cones and place on the tray.
• 7
  Place in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
• 8
  Remove and decorate with red and green M&M's and place a Jaffa on top.
• 9
  The trees will still be sticky enough for the decorations to adhere but you may need to use a little icing to stick the Jaffa on. You can use a tube of ready-made writing icing.

  Little ones will need help with the microwave step of this recipe. A light dusting of icing sugar will make it look like you have snow on your trees.
