(for naughty boys and girls)

 

 

Lump of coal

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup butter
• 10.5 ounce bag mini marshmallows
• 4 cups rice krispie cereal (this is cut down from the regular rice krispies recipe)
• black icing color (can be found at most craft stores)

Optional Tag Materials:

• bags or containers
• ribbon or tulle
• card-stock
• tag - download HERE

Directions:

1. Melt the butter on low and then add your marshmallows. Once that is all melted add your black coloring. (it took a bit of coloring to get it to go from purple to black for us) then stir in your rice krispies until they are all covered with the marshmallow mixture. Then just take out small handfuls and mold them into odd shapes.  .

 

then just find a cute container to put it in.

 

 

this paint can came from Joann’s craft store and then i just tied a green grosgrain bow on the side.

i printed out the tag on white cardstock and used a 3″ circle punch to cut the tag out and backed it in a 4″ scalloped circle.

 

 

for this gift i just placed a couple pieces of Christmas coal in a treat bag and tied with red grosgrain ribbon. i printed the tag out on kraft paper and just cut around the square. i used an old ink pad around the edges.

 

 

i was so excited to find this little container in Target’s dollar spot. again i just printed the tag out on white cardstock and used my 3″ circle punch and it was the perfect size for the top. a black tulle bow adds just a little fluff.
