Sour Punch Rice Krispy Presents holiday candy recipe

What You'll Need:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Melting chocolate wafers (green and red)

Mix Cereal with Butter and Vanilla

In a non stick pot, melt butter over low heat. Stir in vanilla.

Once the butter is melted, stir in marshmallows. When the marshmallows become puffy and melt, stir in krispy cereal.

Flatten Mixture with a Rolling Pin

On a cookie sheet lined with parchment or baking spray, scoop out the mix. Press down and cover with a sheet of parchment, then use a rolling pin to flatten out into a thin, even layer.

Cut Squares with Cookie Cutter

Using a square cookie cutter, cut out 5 squares for the top and 5 squares for the bottom of the box.

Cut Present Walls with Smaller Cookie Cutter

Using a slightly smaller square cookie cutter inside of the larger cutter, cut out 5 more squares for the edges of the box to stick to the 5 bottom boxes. This creates the “walls” of the boxes.

Melt Green and Red Candy Melts

In a small bowl, melt a cup of green candy melts in the microwave using 20 second intervals and stirring frequently. If the candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to thin it out.

Decorate Rice Krispy Presents with Chocolate

Use a small spatula or spoon to spread the green chocolate over the tops of the boxes.

Melt a ½ cup of red candy melts & pour into a small sandwich bag. Cut a very small hole in the corner of the sandwich bag & use to to draw the bow on top.
