Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups pastel miniature marshmallows
3 cups crisp rice cereal
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Green decorator's sugar
Assorted sprinkles, optional
Confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a heavy saucepan, melt butter. Stir in marshmallows; cook and stir over low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; stir in cereal and pecans. Let cool just enough to handle.
With greased hands, shape into trees. (Work quickly, as the cereal hardens quickly and becomes difficult to form.) Roll in green sugar. If desired, decorate with sprinkles. Place on a serving tray; dust with confectioners' sugar.
