I‘m not a huge fan of Rice Krispie treats in general, but this is one creative recipe I would make an exception for. These really do make a convincing black coal-looking treat, and if you really want to commit to the naughty and nice routine with your kids (or maybe even your spouse?), this treat would make an excellent stocking stuffer. Find the recipe for this delicious treat in the link below!
Lump of Coal Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
You’ll Need:
– 3 cups miniature marshmallows or 30 large marshmallows
– 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
– 4 cups rice cereal (reduce to 3 cups if you want softer coal)
– 1 1/2 cups crushed Oreo cookies, loosely packed (best to leave the filling in the cookies)
– 4 – 10 drops black gel food coloring (enough to turn the melted marshmallows black ).
