Author's Notes

To make a Frankenstein treat: Follow the recipe until step 2 then instead of orange color your marshmallow with 2-4 drops of green food coloring. Once colored, pour in the cereal and mix to combine. In a parchment-lined and greased tray press the mixture into a rectangle. Cut the treats into smaller rectangles. To decorate cut a tootsie roll in half and place them at the bottom of the treat to act as bolts. To make the eyes use more tootsie rolls - roll into small balls and place where the eyes should be. Using the tootsie rolls as glue, place on the M&M’s on top. Place tootsie roll pupils on the M&M’s. Use tootsie rolls to make stitches and place them where his mouth should go.
Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
Melt Butter (3 Tbsp) in a deep saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add in Pumpkin Pie Spice (1 tsp) and stir until fragrant.
step 2
Add Marshmallows (10 oz) and stir.
step 3
Optional: When marshmallows start to melt, add in 3-4 drops of Orange Food Coloring (to taste) or coloring of choice. Stir until marshmallows have melted completely.
step 4
Once marshmallows have melted remove the pot from heat and pour in Rice Krispies® Cereal (6 cups) and gently stir and fold with a spatula until evenly coated. Let the mixture cool slightly.
step 5
Spray clean hands with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed) and shape rice mixture into balls about the size of a tennis ball. Transfer to a greased, parchment-lined tray.
step 6
Roll a Tootsie Roll Candy (to taste) slightly. Stick it to the top center and reshape the pumpkin as needed.
step 7
Shape your leaves: Using a Green Airhead Candy (to taste) cut out a leaf shape with clean scissors. Stick onto the treats next to the stem.
step 8
Use the remaining portion of the airheads or green taffy to roll and shape into a thin rope to act as the vine.
step 9
If making a jack-o-lantern, use a rolling pin to roll Candy (to taste) into a thin sheet. Cut out jack-o-lanterns eyes.
step 10
Cut out the mouth.
step 11
Place candy shapes on pumpkins and store finished rice krispie creations in an airtight container.
