Description
These Rice Krispies Marshmallow Brains are the ultimate no-bake Halloween snack, fun and easy to make for parties or trick-or-treaters.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp butter
- 2 cups pink and white marshmallows
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 cups Rice Krispies (or any crispy rice cereal)
- 1 tube red writing icing (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Line a large tray with non-stick paper.
- Place a pan on the stove and half fill with boiling water. Put butter and marshmallows in a heatproof bowl and set it over the water, ensuring the bowl doesn’t touch the water.
- Stir occasionally until the butter has melted and the marshmallows are smooth and fully combined. Add salt and stir.
- Turn off the heat. Add Rice Krispies and gently stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
- Lightly oil two tablespoons, scoop out a mound of mixture, and shape it into an oval brain on the prepared tray. Flatten slightly with oiled fingers.
- To create the indent, lightly oil a table knife and press it through the center of the mound, forming two hemispheres. Adjust shape with fingers if needed.
- Continue shaping until all mixture is used.
- Drizzle or dot with red writing icing for decoration.
- Allow to set for 4–5 hours before serving.
Notes
Use a mix of pink and white marshmallows for vibrant color. Keep oil nearby to prevent sticking while shaping.
