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.
