3 . Slowly pour in Rice Krispies and stir . Make sure to coat the marshmallows thoroughly .
4 . Place the sticky Rice Krispies mixture into round cake pan . Firmly press into pan , making Rice Krispies level and compact .
5 . Let Rice Krispies sit for 20 minutes . They need to harden in order to stick together .
6 . When Rice Krispies are cool and firm , flip round pan over onto cutting board and remove Rice Krispies round .
7 . Using a serrated knife cut into 6 slices . For skinnier trees , you can cut into 8 slices . * If adding the lolly sticks , do this now ! It can help with the decorating as well so you don ’ t have to hold the sticky treats in your hand !
