Instructions
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.
Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13x9 pan coated with cooking spray. Cool.
Use a Christmas tree shaped cookie cutter to get as many trees from the rice krispie treats as you can.
Fill a piping bag or plastic zipper sandwich bag with marshmallow cream. Pipe onto the trees to create diagonal lines.
Add candy decorations to the diagonal lines.
Notes
If you prefer to use the microwave to melt the marshmallow mixture, heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.
We ended up with 9 Christmas tree treats from our batch. However, depending on the size of your cookie cutter, the number of treats you end up with could vary.
You could skip the cookie cutter all together and simply cut the treats into long triangles.
