Friendly snowmen made from delicious Rice Krispies Treats® liven up holiday tables.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1 package (10 oz., about 40) JET-PUFFED marshmallows
- 6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies® cereal
- Black frosting

Directions
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add KELLOGG’S® RICE KRISPIES® cereal. Stir until well coated. Cool cereal mixture slightly.
3. Using buttered hands, shape cereal mixture into eight 2-inch balls, eight 1 1/2-inch balls and eight 1 1/4-inch balls. (Use about 1/2 cup mixture for each 2-inch ball, about 1/4 cup for each 1 1/2-inch ball and about 2 tablespoons for each 1 1/4-inch ball.) Form each snowman by gently pressing a large, medium and small ball into a stack. Cool completely. Pipe black frosting onto snowmen for eyes, mouths and buttons. Pipe orange frosting onto snowmen for noses. Best if served the same day.
