Directions
- Melt the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat in a large pot, stirring gently until completely liquid (2-3 minutes). Be careful not to let it brown.
- Add 6 cups of miniature marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring frequently for about 4-5 minutes until melted into a smooth mixture.
- Remove the pot from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of orange gel food coloring until the color is uniform and vibrant.
- Fold in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated, taking care not to crush the cereal.
- Shape small portions into 10 large balls, about the size of small oranges, using non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Insert a Tootsie Roll candy into the center of each ball to create a cute stem.
- Press a green M&M onto the top of each ball to serve as a decorative leaf.
- Let the treats sit at room temperature for about 60 minutes to set properly.

Notes
Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray to keep the marshmallow mixture from sticking as you shape the balls. You can customize decorations with mini chocolate chips or colorful sprinkles.
