Making these adorable locket shapes together for Mother's Day is a moment you'll always hold near and dear to your heart.
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.
3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press mixture into 15 x 10 x 1-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool slightly. Using cookie cutters coated with cooking spray cut into desired shapes. Decorate as locket with frosting and/or candies. Attach licorice strings for locket chains. Best if served the same day.
Microwave Directions: In microwave-safe bowl heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.
As we approached the holidays last year, I began to realize that time and circumstance was not going to allow me to do my usual holiday baking. While my son and I both are trying to lose weight, it just seemed wrong not to have SOME treats for the holidays. So when a family member dropped off a couple of big boxes of Rice Crispies, I called my 12 year old son from work and told him we would make some treats together. He responded enthusiastically, but then admitted sheepishly that he had already opened a box and had a big bowl. I responded that I didn't even know he liked them! Since then, I have learned that having Rice Crispies available in the mornings is one of the easiest ways to lure that boy out of bed for school! Who knew!
