Crispy Snowman Treats
Recipe from: A Mr. Food Christmas

There are tons of parties during the Christmas season, so when you need to bring something with you, why not be different and take along a snowman? No, not a snowman made of snow.., that kind melts. Make an edible snowman! All the "Oh, it's so cute. Why didn't I think of that?" will be music to your ears.

Makes: 5

3 tablespoons butter
1 package (10 ounces) marshmallows (about 40)
6 cups crispy rice cereal
5 round red peppermint candies
8 red jelly beans
10 semisweet chocolate chips
25 miniature semisweet chocolate chips
1 fruit roll-up, cut into 3/4-inch strips
15 red-hot cinnamon candies
10 pretzel sticks

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and coat with nonstick cooking spray.
Melt the butter in a soup pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from the heat and add the cereal; stir until completely coated.
Using a 3/4-cup measure of the mixture for each, form five balls and place on the baking sheet. Using a 1/3-cup measure for each, form five more balls. Place the smaller balls on top of the larger ones, forming snowmen. Decorate with the candies, chips, and pretzels as shown.
Serve, or cover loosely with plastic wrap until ready to serve.

TIP: Coat your hands with nonstick cooking spray to keep the marshmallow mixture from sticking to them when forming the cereal balls.
