    Halloween Rice Krispies Treats

    Pin Recipe

    Description

    Turn ordinary rice krispy treats into festive pumpkin and ghost Halloween treats.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 6 Tablespoons butter
    • 6 cups marshmallows
    • 6 cups rice krispy cereal
    • orange food coloring (or red and yellow)
    • chocolate chips
    • green sanding sugar

    Instructions

    1. Melt butter and add in marshmallows on medium heat.
    2. Once the marshmallows are 90% melted, add in the food coloring.
    3. For a bold color, use about 20 drops.
    4. Once you have reached the color you want, stir in the rice krispy cereal.
    5. Make sure you seperate the marshmallow mixture before you add food coloring if you are going to do two different colors.
    6. Mold into desired shapes before its sets up.
    7. Cool on wax paper and then store in air-tight container.

    Notes

    To mold, I found it easiest to form them directly into the cookie cutter, as opposed to putting them in a pan and then cutting the desired shape. For the pumpkins, as soon as I molded them, I put them on wax paper and then sprinkled green sprinkles on the stem before they cooled.
