Ingredients

Rice Krispies Treats:

  • 6 Tbs unsweetened butter
  • 10.5 oz mini marshmallows
  • food coloring
  • 6 cups puffed rice cereal

Eyeballs:

  • 10 oz large marshmallows
  • gummy rings
  • black licorice

Instructions

  • In a 5-quart saucepan, melt butter and miniature marshmallows over low heat. Remove from heat and add food coloring, stirring to incorporate fully before adding cereal.
  • Press into a 9x13” pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Let sit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Cut puffed rice and marshmallow treats into circles (use a biscuit cutter) or squares and top with eyes.
  • To make candy eyes, cut marshmallows in half and place the sticky side down on treats. Top with the gummy rings. Insert a small piece of licorice into the middle of the gummy ring.
  • Repeat if desired with different colors of food dye in the Rice Krispies Treats for a fun Halloween effect.

Notes

1. Spray your hands with non-stick spray to easily press puffed rice and marshmallow mixture into the pan.
2. Use a small dab of honey to secure the gummy ring/ licorice to the marshmallow.
