This is a great gag gift for the guys in your life.
Christmas Coal
1/4 cup butter
10 ounces marshmallows
1/8 tsp. black food coloring
4 cups rice cereal
Melt butter and add marshmallows in a large saucepan. Add black food coloring and mix in well. Add rice cereal and stir until blended. Drop by small spoonfuls onto waxed or parchment paper. Make different shapes and sizes. Cool.
Place 3-5 of them into a small cellophane or ziptop bag and tie with ribbon.
Include a tag saying…
"I heard you have been naughty not nice,
And Santa even checked his list twice.
So all the way from the cold North Pole
all you’re getting is a bag of coal."
The clumsycrafter.com has a great way to make it with dipped chocolate marshmallows.
Lorannoils.com has a way to make Christmas coal that is a hard candy.
So cute to give to all the “naughty” people in your life!
THIS IS GREAT!!! I was just searching for some good holiday cooking ideas, but this came up and its perfect! Everyone in my office is getting some of these this year! And my wife is gonna freak out when I show her what she can send to my mother for Christmas… very cool!
