Lump of Coal


I hope this isn't too late for everyone but this is a fun idea that I got from my Aunt Cristie, who found it on Pinterest. The printable is from I heart nap time http://www.iheartnaptime.net/2011/11/lump-of-coal/.
I was in need of a fast treat to send with my kids to their Christmas parties at school and my oven was broken. She happened to call at just the right time and gave me this idea. It is basically rice krispie treats but with black food coloring then shaped into lumps to resemble coal.
It was the perfect solution: fast, easy cheap and most of all, fun for everyone to do together!
I found it easiest to drop by large spoonfuls onto wax paper then after they cooled a bit shape into the coal shape, basically a rough ball.
