Here's
the recipe for the Pumpkin Shaped Halloween Rice Krispies Treats with candy
inside.
Ingredients
3
tablespoons butter or margarine
1
package (10 oz., about 40) Marshmallows
-
OR -
4
cups Miniature Marshmallows
Orange
food coloring
6
cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal
12
MILKY WAY® Brand Minis or 3 MUSKETEERS® Brand Minis
OR
6
FUN SIZE® Bars*
Canned
frosting (green)
12
small green gum drops
Directions
1.
In a large Saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until
completely melted. Remove from heat. Tint with orange food coloring.
2.
Add Kellog's Rice Krispies Cereal. Stir until well coated.
3.
Using a 1/2 Cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray, divide warm cereal
mixture into 12 portions. Using buttered hands shape each portion into
pumpkins, shape around one candy piece. Pipe frosting onto each for vines and
attach gumdrop for stem. Best if served the same day.
Some
tips from making them, I used a cast iron pot to heat its great for
distributing the heat so the marshmallows didn't burn. I moved the cereal
mixture onto a cookie sheet to cool a little before making the pumpkins. The
first one was a little too warm and it ended up melting the chocolate a little.
The first one also stuck to my hands like no other even though I had greased
them up pretty well. If the mixture is too warm it will stick to your hands no
matter how much you grease up your hands so make sure they are cooled enough to
not stick to you but warm enough to be malleable. Its a fine line.
Tabitha LOVED helping, even if it was only to put the candy on top. We took
some to our neighbors and they loved them too. These are a great treat and lots
of fun to do as a family night activity.
I
was sent a Kellog's Rice Krispies Surprise Pumpkin Treats ™ kit to create these
wonderful treats from Kellog Company® to facilitate this review and giveaway. My opinions are
my own and I would never recommend a product that I would not use myself. I
have not been paid to write a positive review of Kellog Company or its
products.
