I. Ingredients
II. Preparation
- Melting and Mixing
Preparation: Butter or line a baking pan with baking paper. Prepare the puffed rice in a large bowl.
Marshmallow Melting: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and melt, stirring constantly, until you have a smooth, runny mixture.
Flavoring: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. - Assembly
Quick Mix: Pour the warm, runny marshmallow mixture into the puffed rice. Mix quickly and thoroughly to coat all the rice grains.
Press: Press the mixture into the pan. To do this, grease your hands with a little butter or use a buttered baking paper/spatula to prevent sticking. Press down evenly and firmly.
Cooling: Leave the mixture in the pan to cool and set at room temperature for at least 1 hour.
Christmas Decorating and Shaping
Cutting: Cut the set mixture into traditional squares or use Christmas cookie cutters (star, fir tree, heart).
Coloring (Optional): You can color the rice puffs with green or red food coloring after melting the marshmallows, before adding the rice, if you want a colorful base.
Decoration:
Melt chocolate and drizzle it in a thin line.
Sprinkle colorful Christmas sprinkles on top immediately before the chocolate sets.
