Halloween Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats
These Halloween jack o'lantern Rice Krispie treats are a breeze to make! Kids love helping with them - and eating them!
Ingredients
- 10 oz Mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup Unsalted butter half stick
- 5 cups Rice Krispie cereal
- Yellow food coloring
- Red food coloring
- 2 Kit Kats
Instructions
- Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- In large pot, melt butter over medium heat.
- Add mini marshmallows, stirring until completely melted into the butter over medium-low heat. Make sure not to burn.
- Add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring until you have your preferred shade of Halloween orange.
- Add Rice Krispie Cereal to the pot, and stir with a greased rubber spatula until fully combined.
- Using the greased rubber spatula, fill each muffin cup to the top, pressing down firmly to compress the Rice Krispies.
- Place muffin pan in refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until set.
- Cut the Kit-Kat bars into three equal pieces.
- Take each Rice Krispie treat out, and use your hands to gently round out the edges and form a “pumpkin” shape.
- Take a butter knife and carve out a small hole in the top of each pumpkin, and insert a Kit-Kat piece into the hole.
- Draw a face on each pumpkin with the writing gel. (Wait until just before serving before doing this step so the faces don't smear.)
