A Fun Halloween Recipe

The first time I made these rice krispie treats was for a Grown-up Halloween Party that I hosted with my former daughter in law. She is a huge fan of Halloween and what more fun can you have with your family than to throw a fun Halloween party!

🥘 Ingredients

Marshmallows, they should be soft and squishy and come from a well sealed package.

Butter, I normally use salted butter to make these rice krispie treats. There is no salt in the recipe and I like the salt in the butter to enhance the flavors.

Green food coloring, I like to use this all natural food coloring powder.

Chocolate candy melts, this brand melts the best.

Gumdrops, I buy this variety bag with several different colors.

Jelly beans, this brand has black, and orange jelly beans

Stick pretzels

🔪 Instructions

Step 1:

Butter an 8 x 8 pan. Set aside.

Step 2

Place the marshmallows and butter in large microwave safe bowl.
Measure out six cups rice krispies and place in bowl, set aside.

Step 3:

Microwave marshmallows and butter for 2 minutes. Remove the marshmallow mixture from the microwave and stir.
Add the food coloring to obtain the hue of green desired.
If the marshmallow mixture needs to be microwaved longer, place back in microwave and heat in 30 second intervals until it can be stirred smooth.

Step 4:

Remove the marshmallow mixture from the microwave and stir in the rice krispies until coated with marshmallows.
Turn the rice krispies mixture out into prepared 8x8 pan and press down to pack into pan with a spoon.

Step 5:

Score the rice krispie treats (12 pieces) and refrigerate until firm.
Remove treats from refrigerator and decorate with chocolate and candies as desired.

💭 Top Tips

When packing the rice krispie treats into the 8x8 pan, coat the back of the spoon with butter to prevent sticking.
Cut a black jelly bean in half to make the eyes on Frankenstein. Use some melted chocolate on the cut side to help "glue" the eyes to the treat
Give these as gifts to family and friends! Wrap the Frankenstein Rice Krispie treat in cellophane wrap and tie with a green, purple, or black string.

Green treats cut into squares in the dish before decorating.

Variations

Substitute colored marshmallows for the gumdrops.
Use purple candy melts in place of brown for Frankenstein's hair.
Buy these googly eyes in place of the jelly bean eyes.
Use chocolate or white chocolate chips to make the eyes.
