Description
Get into the Halloween spirit with these Frankenstein Rice Krispies Treats. Soft, chewy, and colorful, they’re a spooky twist on the classic cereal bars, decorated with melted chocolate, icing, and candy eyes.
Ingredients
- 10 oz large marshmallows (or mini marshmallows)
- 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup marshmallow fluff
- 5–8 drops green food coloring
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 18 large candy eyes
- 9 small Tootsie Rolls
- ½ cup black or brown icing
Instructions
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and marshmallow fluff, stirring constantly until melted and smooth.
- Stir in 5–8 drops of green food coloring until evenly blended.
- In a large bowl, quickly mix the marshmallow mixture with Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated. The mixture will be thick, so work quickly before it sets.
- Press the mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until firm.
- Cut into 3×4-inch rectangles to form Frankenstein faces.
- Melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the top inch of each Rice Krispie treat into the melted chocolate to create hair. Let set.
- Use icing to attach candy eyes to the front of each treat. Draw a mouth and scars with the same icing.
- Cut Tootsie Rolls in half and use icing to stick them to the sides of each Frankenstein head. Allow icing to set before serving.
Notes
Use gel food coloring for a more vibrant green shade. Work quickly when mixing cereal with marshmallows; greased or buttered hands make it easier to press into the pan. For firmer treats, refrigerate longer, but serve at room temperature for the best texture.
