Trix on Sticks

Trix on Sticks!
From www.keephomesimple.blogspot.com

This is such a fun recipe for kids!

It's pretty much just Rice Krispies treats...minus the Rice Krispies.

Supplies needed:

1 box of Trix cereal {10.7 oz.}

1 bag of small marshmallows

1 stick of butter {you won't use it all}

1 pkg of mini jumbo sticks {tongue depressors}

In a microwave safe bowl, add 1 pkg of small marshmallows and 3 Tbs of butter.

Cook for 3 minutes on high

{keep your eye on it - every microwave is different}

Next, butter your spatula.

It makes stirring all that stickiness SO much easier.
Add about 3/4 of the box of Trix cereal to the bowl of warm marshmallow-e goodness and stir well.

Let the Trix mix cool for about 10 minutes

{The balls stick together better when the marshmallow has cooled a bit.}

While you're waiting, butter a pan to place the finished balls on.

When you're ready to start, butter your hands so the mixture doesn't stick to you either.

{**Tip: re-butter your hands after each ball.}
Grab a fistful of Trix mix, roll it into a firm ball in your hand, then stick a stick in the middle of it.
Place it on your pan and that's it!

* I think these would even be cute as Trix balls without the sticks
