I got this from the rice crispy website. They look like great little treats for the children during christmas. You can also use a christmas tree cookie cut out and make christmas tree treats! I think that I will also drizzle some melted semi-sweet chocolate on top of these little presents!

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS
Gooey marshmallows and crispy rice cereal come together in this recipe for the all-original favorite. We added a splash of vanilla extract and pinch of salt to give these sweet treats a palatable punch. Cut into squares, store between a few pieces of wax paper (to prevent any sticking) and enjoy for up to three days.

Steps:
- Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
- Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
- Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: This will ensure that your rice crispy treats are as flavorful and delicious as possible.
- Don't overcook the marshmallows: If you overcook them, they will become too hard and chewy.
- Be careful not to burn the butter: Burnt butter will give your rice crispy treats a bitter taste.
- Add your favorite mix-ins: This is a great way to customize your rice crispy treats and make them your own.
- Be patient: It takes a little time for the rice crispy treats to set. Don't try to rush them or they will fall apart.
