While browsing around Reynolds Parchment site last night I came across these yummy looking treats that would be great gifts for kids. Yes sticky and sweet and the parents would probably kill us for giving these to children but they are still cute and I’m making them!!
Reynolds® Parchment Paper
1 3/4
cups DOVE® Brand Miniatures Milk or Dark Chocolate
8
cups popped corn or puffed rice cereal
2
cups mini marshmallows
1
cup M&M’S® Brand Milk or Peanut Chocolate Candies for the Holidays
6
tablespoons butter
1
16-oz. bag regular-size marshmallows
Clear plastic bags
Holiday ribbon
PREHEAT oven to 350°F. Line a 13x9x2-inch pan with Reynolds Parchment Paper.
PLACE all unwrapped DOVE® Brand Miniatures in the parchment-lined pan. Place in the oven for 2 minutes, just to soften; set aside.
MIX cereal, mini marshmallows and M&M’S® Brand Peanut Chocolate Candies for the Holidays in a large bowl.
MELT butter and regular-size marshmallows in a large pan, over medium heat. Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal mixture, mixing to coat well.
SPREAD marshmallow and cereal mixture evenly on top of the DOVE® Brand Miniatures. Then, sprinkle plain M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies for the Holidays on top, pressing slightly.
REFRIGERATE until set, about 30 minutes. Use parchment to lift treat onto cutting board. Pull back parchment; cut into 1 1/4-inch squares.
FILL clear plastic bags with 3 to 4 squares and tie with ribbon.
MARS BRIGHT IDEAS TIP: These treats make perfect gifts for all of your child’s friends. When your child sees someone special during the day, they can reach into their backpack and give a pouch of holiday wishes! Refrigeration time is 30 minutes, decoration time is 10 minutes.
