- Line an 8-inch loaf pan
and an 8-inch square pan with aluminum foil extending
about 2-inches beyond sides; lightly grease foil with butter
or vegetable spray.

large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until
completely melted. Remove from heat, add food coloring if desired.

well coated.
- Press about three fourths
of the cereal mixture firmly into the prepared loaf pan, using
buttered hands to press cereal mixture against sides and bottom
of bowl to create a thick shell.
- Press remaining cereal
mixture firmly into bottom of the prepared square pan. Let stand
for several hours or overnight until firm.
- Lift out cereal shapes
from the molds, using foil handles. Carefully peel off foil.
With sharp knife, carefully cut "door" and "windows"
from loaf-shaped house.
- Spread 1 container of
frosting onto large foil or plastic-covered board to resemble
snow. Place house on "snow".
- Using additional frosting,
attach the cereal square as the roof of house.
