I saw this fun idea over at eighteen25 and thought I would give it a try! Black rice krispie treats that look like lumps of coal. This was so easy. One tip though...it requires about a container and a half of Wilton food coloring to get it to go from gray to black.
Then, you just drop the lumps onto wax paper. I let mine sit overnight to dry.
Here they are all ready to go. We're off to our annual Santa dinner with friends this evening. I thought I would take them along...one for each family to take home.
You can get the recipe and the tag HERE.

Oh my gosh, what a great idea -- and the coal looks real, too!! Giving them in those buckets is so fun! You're awesome! ps My husband loves Rice Krispie treats ;)
That is a really cute idea!! Very clever. It is going in my file :-D
It is all in the presentation... and your's is AWESOME!
Too cute!
What fun. I bet there will be lots of kids with colored teeth after eating their coal!!!
Those are awesome! I actually picked up a "box of coal" for LB's stocking at Trader Joe's. Need to remember to put it in her stocking. I have no idea what's really in the little box. I'm assuming some kind of candy.
I saw those same coal boxes at TJ's as kim did ... i think it was gum? but man oh man, kerri, do your lumps of coal ever take the prize over anything i've seen for sale - I LOVE THEM!! the idea is so clever, so delicious, and your presentation is truly fabulous ... well done!!
Those are the cutest Kerri! ( I saw that idea too and I KNEW you were going to make it!) Hope your dinner was fun. I remember from last year what a special time that is for you guys.
have a happy day kerri
what might all that food coloring do to your teeth...now that would be funny...have everyone eat them together and then watch everyones teeth turn black!!eekk
Hee hee! Very cute and very funny, probably very yummy too!
This is so clever. I wish I would have thought to check this out before I bought a few gift cards for my kiddos teachers. I should know to check with you first by now.
