1cupWhite frostingany brand
Instructions
Directions:
Line a 9x13 pan with tinfoil or wax paper. If using tinfoil, spray with non-stick cooking spray.
Add the mini marshmallows and butter to a large saucepan and heat on low/medium heat, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is about 1/2 melted, add several drops of green gel food coloring.
Fold in the 6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press down evenly.
Allow the treats to set prior to cutting.
If you are pressed for time, place the treats in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm them up.
Line a separate baking sheet with wax paper.
Using the shamrock cookie cutter, cut the treats as close together as possible and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Heat the white frosting in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. You don't it liquidy but you do want it soft enough to drizzle over the treats.
Scoop a few spoonfuls of the frosting into the sandwich baggy and make a small snip in the corner.
Gently squeeze the frosting from the bag over the shamrocks going in a back and forth motion.
