Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats

  • Author: Mix and Match Mama

Description

Easy, festive and deliciously fun to make every Halloween with your little pumpkins!


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • orange food coloring
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • mini Tootsie Rolls to use as the stems (about 12)
  • M&Ms and Candy Corn for the jack-o-lantern face
  • vanilla frosting for your “glue”

Instructions

  1. In a microwavable bowl, melt your butter (about 60 seconds or so).  Once melted, add in your marshmallows and coat with melted butter.
  2. Microwave another minute and a half or so until marshmallows are melted.
  3. Remove from microwave and immediately add in your orange food coloring.
  4. Stir until incorporated
  5. Pour over cereal.
  6. Allow the mixture to cool a minute or two before you start trying to shape it into a ball.  We learned that if it was too hot, it would not stick together.  We also learned that rubbing butter on our hands made it so much easier to make the Krispies into balls!
  7. Once your mixture has cooled a bit, rub a little butter on both of your hands and roll the cereal into balls.  Unroll a mini Tootsie Roll and bend it just a bit into a stem.  Stick your stem on top of your pumpkin.
  8. Using your frosting as glue, add your eyes and nose to the front of each pumpkin.
    Enjoy!
