Rice Krispie Cupcake Treats Recipes

Steps:

• Microwave 3 Tbsp. butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 45 sec. or until melted. Add marshmallows; toss to evenly coat. Microwave 1-1/2 min. or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 sec. Add cereal; mix well.
• Press cereal mixture into 36 mini muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray, adding about 1-1/2 Tbsp. cereal mixture to each; cool completely.
• Beat cream cheese, vanilla and remaining butter in medium bowl with mixer until blended. Gradually add sugar, mixing well after each addition. Add food coloring; mix well.
• Remove "cupcakes" from muffin cups. Frost with cream cheese mixture. Garnish with sprinkles.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin , by heavily buttering bottom and sides; set aside. --- Combine butter, and mini marshmallows in a saucepan over medium heat stirring until blended and smooth. Stir in vanilla.
• 2. Remove from heat. Place the rice krispies in a large buttered bowl; quickly pour marshmallow mixture over rice krispies and stir gently with a large buttered wooden spoon or with buttered hands- being careful - of the hot marshmallow mixture.
• 3. Place the mixture evenly into the muffin cups and chill for 10 minutes. --- Frosting: I find it is easier to empty the can of frosting into a bowl and then add the powdered mixture to that. Stir well until completely blended. Place frosting in decorator bag fitted with star point or just put in a plastic bag and cut a small hole in one corner and squeeze frosting onto little cakes. Enjoy! Kids will love these... of course they will lick the frosting off first! LOL
