I just made these and they're really easy to make. I used the water trick that somebody else mentioned and it worked really well, just had to wet them every time you got more of the mix. :) Will make them again for next Christmas.

I too made these and they were a huge hit both by the adults as well as the kids. They are sticky to work with but I didn't have any trouble shaping theme into trees. The only challenge I came across was the decorating part but with a little imagination I'm sure the ultimate Cheerio Christmas tree can be achieved! A really fun and different than the usual treat that you see at this time of year. Can't wait to try again!!

Ok, yes they are sticky to work with. Be sure to use two spoons buttered on the rounded side to mold them into trees. Worked really well. After it cooled a little I would suggest stirring in the candies if you use M&M's, otherwise it's hard to get them to stick, I see now why they use gumdrops. Also easier to mold once cooler. Have fun! I think my son's preschool will go crazy for these. I think because of the sweetness of the marshmallow, it would have been totally fine to use regular Cherrios and they would be just as good.

i remember these as a kid but my wife never heard of them but this recipe is exactly how i remember them and they were the best cant wait to try them

I haven't made them yet, but they look great! One of my kids can't have any nuts, so I'm going to subtitute Multi-Grain Cheerios for the Honey Nut ones. Hopefully, that won't make a huge difference.
