Mummy Rice Krispies

Ingredients

• 6 Tbsp of unsalted butter
• 1-16oz bags of marshmallows (more never hurts)
• 1/4 tsp of vanilla
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 4 1/4 cups of rice krispies
• Green M&Ms
• Rolos

Instructions

• Line an 8x8 pan with aluminum paper and grease foil (for ghosts).
• Separate 1 cup of marshmallows and set aside.
• Add butter to a large pot and begin to melt on medium heat, occasionally stirring until melted, it begins to turn golden and smell nutty.
• Once melted, add marshmallows (keeping the 1 cup aside) and stir until completely melted and combined with butter.
• Once the marshmallows are melted, add salt and vanilla and stir until combined.
• Slowly add rice krispies, continually stirring as you add.
• Slowly mix well until all rice krispies are coated.
• Place mixture back to low heat and stir in the extra cup of marshmallows until partly or fully melted (whichever you prefer).
• Pour rice krispies into greased pan and cool for at least an hour.
• Once cooled, cut into preferred size and shape for ghosts.

• Melt white chocolate in a deep, microwavable safe bowl, 1 minute at a time, until smooth. Dip almost the entire piece of rice krispie into white chocolate and place on a cooling rack to cool. Add googly eyes to ghosts before they completely cool. 
• Once cooled, warm extra white chocolate and place into a large ziploc bag. Cut a small piece of the corner and drizzle over rice krispies.
• Let cool and enjoy!

Halloween Rice Krispies

Ingredients

• 6 Tbsp of unsalted butter
• 1-16oz bags of marshmallows (more never hurts)
• 1/4 tsp of vanilla
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 4 1/4 cups of rice krispies
• Green M&Ms
• Rolos
• Orange food coloring or red and yellow to mix

Instructions

• Lay out parchment paper for the pumpkins to cool.
• Add butter to a large pot and begin to melt on medium heat, occasionally stirring until melted and it begins to turn golden and smell nutty.
• Once melted, add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined with butter.
• Once the marshmallows are melted, add salt and vanilla and stir until combined.
• Add several drops of yellow food coloring, mix it together, then add red food coloring one drop at a time, mixing as you go. Continue adding red/yellow drops until you reach your desired color. (I used about 16 drops red and 8 drops yellow) and mix well.
• Slowly add rice krispies, stirring as you add.

• Coat both sides of your hands with a generous amount of cooking oil or butter to avoid having your hands covered in rice krispies. Roll the rice krispie mixture into small balls and set them on parchment paper.
• While the balls are still warm, gently press a Rolo into the top of each pumpkin for the stem and add a green M&M beside it as the leaf.
• Let cool completely and enjoy!

Note: You can also use brown M&Ms or pretzels for the stem
