Ingredients
Method
- Lightly spray a 9-inch round pan with cooking spray.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until golden brown and nutty, then remove from heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir until almost completely melted. Stir in vanilla, salt, and green food coloring until smooth. Mix in the crispy rice cereal until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Let it cool for 20 minutes.
- Cut the set treats into 8 equal wedges. Gently press a pretzel stick into the bottom of each wedge to serve as the trunk.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over each tree. Decorate with sprinkles immediately.
