Ingredients
6
cups Trix™ cereal
3
tablespoons butter
4
cups miniature marshmallows
1
teaspoon vanilla
1/2
cup white candy melts or coating wafers (3 oz)
13
pretzel sticks, broken in half
50
candy-coated chocolate candies
Preparation
Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In large bowl, place cereal.
In 4-quart saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and vanilla; stir until marshmallows are completely melted. Remove from heat. Pour marshmallow mixture over cereal in bowl, stirring until well coated. Cool 5 minutes.
With greased hands, roll 1/4 cup cereal mixture into ball. Place on cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining cereal mixture. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave candy melts uncovered on High 1 minute. Dip 1 end of each pretzel stick into melted candy; attach to balls to look like antennae. Spoon remaining melted candy into resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag; squeeze bag to pipe melted candy onto chocolate candies. Attach 2 chocolate candies to front of each ball for eyes.
