Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 4 cups Mini Marshmallows
• 6 cups Crispy Rice Cereal
• 0 as needed Food Coloring (green, purple, orange, etc.)
• 1 package Candy Eyes
• 0 as needed Assorted Candy Decorations (sprinkles, candy melts, etc.)
• 0 as needed Cooking Spray

Directions

Step 1

Prepare a baking sheet or countertop with parchment paper and lightly spray your hands with cooking spray to avoid sticking.

Step 2

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter.

Step 3

Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.

Step 4

If you're making treats in multiple colors, divide the melted marshmallow mixture into separate bowls and add your desired food coloring to each. Stir until evenly colored.

Step 5

Immediately add 2 cups of crispy rice cereal to each bowl of colored marshmallow mixture (if using multiple colors) or all 6 cups if using one color. Mix well until the cereal is fully coated.

Step 6

Once mixed, lightly grease your hands again and shape the mixture into small, uneven balls to resemble monster heads. Place them on the prepared parchment paper.

Step 7

While the treats are still sticky, press candy eyes into the surface of each ball and decorate with sprinkles or melted candy to give your monsters unique facial features.

Step 8

Let the treats cool and firm up for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

Step 9

Serve and enjoy these spooky, delicious Monster Treats!
