1 medium saucepan

Materials

6 cups rice cereal

Instructions

melt butter in a saucepan

Flatten with your silicone spatula or spoon
Remove the rice Krispies from the pan, wax paper and all
spray the cookie cutter with cooking oil
use the cookie cutter to make oval shapes out of the rice cereal mixture
*you can take the scraps, mold them together and cut more shapes from them
pinch the middle of the oval shape to make a foot shape
unroll the fruit roll up
cut 2-3 inch long (narrow) strips out of the fruit roll ups
Pull the paper backing off and lay 2 of your long/narrow strips into a V pattern at the wide end of the flip-flop shape
add an M&M by pressing it into the center of the V
Repeat with all of the ovals shapes
you should end up with about 12 flip-flops

Nutrition facts will vary

Tip

*try to work while the rice cereal/marshmallow mixture is still warm. Once the mixture cools, it starts to harden and you won't be able to use the melted marshmallow as your glue.

Storing:

These are best when served the day of making them. The fruit roll ups and the marshmallow will start to harden when exposed to air. If you want to make them in advance, store them in an airtight container at room temperature
