Rice Krispie Coal

Every year I make a version of coal for my kids before Christmas.  These treats were delicious!

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cups marshmallows

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Oreos crushed

5 cups Cocoa Krispies

Black food coloring

Directions:

1. Mix the rice krispies and Oreos in a large bowl.
2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium high heat until melted.
3. Turn the heat down to low and add the marshmallows.
4. Stir until the marshmallows are melted.
5. Add the vanilla and food coloring and continue to stir.
6. Remove from heat and pour over the rice krispies stirring and scraping the edge of the bowl.
7. Dump spoonfuls of “coal” on parchment paper and let cool.
8. Enjoy!
9. Ps. My elf left this for my sons and spelled coal with letters he found around the house.
