Description
These Rice Krispie Treat Pumpkins are a fun and festive treat for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 bag gelatin-free large marshmallows (about 40)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Red & yellow liquid food coloring
- Mini Rolos
- Green M&M’s
- 1/4 cup cooking oil or melted butter (for hands)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat. Add yellow food coloring first, then add red food coloring one drop at a time until you reach an orange color. Mix well.
- Stir in the Rice Krispies until evenly coated.
- Grease your hands with oil or melted butter and roll the mixture into small balls. Place on parchment paper. Re-grease hands as needed.
- While still warm, gently press a Mini Rolo into the top for the stem and place a green M&M beside it as the leaf.
- Let cool completely until firm.
Notes
- Gelatin-free marshmallows are important for this recipe.
- Food-safe gloves work great and prevent sticking without needing oil.
- If the treats cool too quickly, make a small indent with the handle of a utensil before adding the chocolate.
- Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
