6cupsRice Krispies
12ozwhite melting chocolate
White sprinkles
Instructions
Line a 9 x 13 pan with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in marshmallows, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal and a few drops red gel food coloring, stirring until well combined. Add more red food coloring if necessary to reach desired shade.
Pour mixture into 9 x 13 pan. Using wax or parchment paper, press mixture down evenly into pan. Place in refrigerator to chill for 1 hour.
Using a triangle cookie cutter, cut hats out of cooled treats, as close together as possible.
Melt white chocolate in double broiler or in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring occasionally until melted. Dip the bottom of each hat into the melted chocolate, forming the rim of Sant'a hat, and allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.
Place dipped hats on a sheet or parchment or wax paper, and add sprinkles to the white rim of the hat. Allow to set.
After the rims have set, reheat the chocolate for a few more seconds if necessary. Dip the top of each hat and immediately add a mini marshmallow. Allow to set before serving.
