I'm a Pinterist addict...but I never really MAKE anything I pin!
I immediately knew that I absolutely HAD to make these for my co-workers!
{back story - I work for/with 25 Engineers - ALL MEN!}
I mean...they all deserve a little coal for Christmas!!!
So......
Pretty sure I failed it...and you'll see why below!

I printed out the wonderfully cute FREE labels they provided...
...visit eighteen 25 HERE to get your own!
To make the coal, you'll need
1/4 cup butter
10.5 ounce bag of mini marshmallows
4 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal
Black Icing Color {I used Wilton}
Since it wasn't clear on the yield of this recipe, I doubled it {except for the food coloring}.
I ended up with 78 good sized pieces of coal.

Step 2: Once this is melted add your black coloring.

At this point, I called my family in and told them that this was Din-Din!
They didn't seem all that excited about it...humph!

Just place a few pieces in your bags {or whatever container you chose} and dress it up with ribbon and the super cute tags you printed earlier!
