Pink Ballerina Tutu Cereal Treats

Sometimes you just need a sweet treat. And sometimes you just need a pink and girlie cereal treat. It makes a long and tough day much better. Plus cereal treats are so easy to make, you can whip them up in like 15 minutes or less.

Mix up a batch of rice krispie treats. You can use traditional rice krispies or whatever cereal you have hanging around. You can't mess them up. All you need is:

6 cups of cereal
1 package of mini marshmallows (10 ounces)
3 Tablespoons of butter
Pink food gel/coloring
Pink candy melt (Wilton makes a new "hot pink" color now!)
Pearlized larger nonpareil sprinkles

Melt butter in a deep pan over medium. Add marshmallows (turn off heat). Once all nice and melty, tint pink with food gel/coloring. Mix in cereal. Add to a pan. Let the treats "set" 5-10 mins.

Cut your treats into squares, then just "pipe" some melted candy into the tutu dress shape. Before the candy dries, add some sprinkle accents to the dress.

And that's it, simple cute little cereal treats! These were for a special little girl's birthday party, who just happens to love love (love) ballerinas. Cereal treats make me smile, always have, always will.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! Have a great rest of your week!
