Christmas Tree Rice Krispies Treats
We love our Christmas Food Crafts and wanted to update an older post – Christmas Tree Rice Krispies Treat! These are a fun and tasty rice krispie treats with a twist. They can be made into adorable Christmas tree treats!
Tip: To get the cone shape, we used the Styrofoam mold in a box of Keebler Sugar Cones. If buying these, also make these fun Ice Cream Cone Santa Hat Cupcakes.

- 12 Candy Stars
- 3 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 3 tbsp Corn Syrup
- Optional: We used the Styrofoam mold in a box of Keebler Sugar Cones to form the trees
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.

- Remove from heat.
- Add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until cereal is well coated.
