Here’s a cute and fun recipe to get in before Christmas.šĀ We all know the story, if you’ve been naughty, Santa will leave you lumps of coal in your stocking. Good news is you’ll actually enjoy these lumps of coal. KidsĀ are huge fans, even the big ones š
They’re so easy to make, kind of like Rice KrispiesĀ Treats with a fun little twist. Ā Oreos, Cocoa Krispies and a few drops of black food coloring transform these goodies into some tasty Lumps of Coal!
Start off by pulsing the Oreos in a food processor until you have 1 1/2 cups of Oreo crumbs.
In a microwave safe bowl, heat the marshmallows and butter in the microwave for 60-90 seconds until the marshmallows are super soft.
Stir the marshmallows and butter together. Add in 5-10 drops off black food coloring gel. I got mine on Amazon.
Mix it all together until you get the color you’re looking for.
Add in the Cocoa Krispies and Oreo crumbs. Mix until it’s all combined. It’s going to be sticky and a little tough to mix, so get your guns ready!Ā šŖĀ Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until the marshmallows cool down.
Take about 2 tablespoons (I used my mini ice cream scoop) and scoop onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Gently press into little lumps of coal. Freeze for 20 minutes and press the pieces a little more tightly.
Pack in little bags and give them to those who are naughty…or nice š
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!Ā š

I love everything from cake to kale. Life is all about balance. I like to live, laugh and love to the fullest! Our time is too short not to enjoy ourselves.
Oh so fun! I’ve been naughty and think I need some lumps of coal…ok, well not as naughty as I’d like, and maybe even not naughty at all now that I think of it, lol! But I still would like a taste!
