Just make rice-krispie treats and shape them into balls. I go heavier on the cereal in the cereal to marshmallow ratio so they won’t be quite as sticky.
Put icing (I use store-bought) in a sandwich bag and poke or cut a hole in the corner so it can be used like a pastry bag. The bags I got had the expandable bottom, so it worked better for me to just poke a hole into the bag because when I tried to cut the corner, it would squeeze out of two places. (The above picture is me holding the bag. It is not a marshmallow.)
Use the icing like glue to put on Twizzlers (the string kind) and candy and decorate it like an ornament.
Ooh and aah and take a few pictures.
Eat it.
I think I found this in Family Fun Magazine last year. It said to use popcorn balls, and last year I did. Rice krispie treats are MUCH easier!

Great idea. Going to try that tomorrow.

Rice krispie treats are much YUMMIER! (And you don’t have the kernel skins getting stuck in between teeth and gums) I will have to give these a go this year.

Thanks for the idea! I love it!
