Kitty Cat Rice Krispies Treats

Adorable spin on regular Rice Krispies Treats

Servings: 10 Treats

Equipment

• Bunny cookie cutter
• Butter knife
• Paring knife
• Large saucepan
• 9 x 13 baking pan (greased)
• Spatula

Ingredients

• 24 oz Packages of Mini Marshmallows two 12-oz bags
• 1/2 c Butter salted or unsalted; your choice
• 8 c Rice Krispies brand cereal or another brand of crisped rice cereal
• 1 tub White frosting any brand
• 1 tube Black Wilton gel icing or another brand of gel icing
• 10 Candy hearts or M&Ms
• 20 Wilton candy eyes Or another brand of candy eyes

Instructions

Rice Krispies Treats

• Slice butter into 4 equal parts and place in a large
  saucepan, allowing it to melt about 3/4 of the way
• Once the butter is about 3/4 melted, add in the 2 packages
  of marshmallows and turn the heat up to medium
• Stirring continuously, allow the marshmallows to melt about
  3/4 of the way. Do NOT allow them to melt the entire way, as this will
  overcook them. You actually want them still a little poofy in the saucepan
• Once the marshmallows melt about 3/4 of the way, add in the
  crispy rice cereal, 2-3 cups at a time. Do not stir. Rather, fold them up
  from the bottom of the saucepan, then press down, and then fold them up
  again and then press down again
• Add in another 2-3 cups of the cereal and repeat the motion
  of folding and pressing down. Repeat until you've added all of the cereal
• Pour the coated mixture into a 9×13 greased baking pan and
  gently press down with a your hand or the back of a large spoon (I
  sprayed mine with non stick spray so the bars wouldn't stick)
• Allow to cool a few hours before cutting with cookie
  cutters

Kitty Decorations

• Use the bunny shaped cookie cutter to cut the treats. My cookie cutter was about 3 inches tall, which made about 10 treats out of one 9 x 13 pan.
• Using a small paring knife, cut the bunny ears into smaller
  triangular kitty ears. I played around with it and made 2 even and small
  slices. Start with small cuts and you can always trim them more
  
• Frost each Kitty treat with white frosting and set aside
• Add 2 eyes and a nose to each treat.
  
• Finally, use the Wilton gel icing to give your kitty some
  whiskers and a mouth.
