OR
4 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal
Instructions:

3. Add red food coloring and shape into brains. Use butter knife to create middle slit on each brain.

3. Bat Bites
Ingredients:
Reeses cups

Edible eyes
Vanilla Frosting
Instructions:
1. Remove the wrappers from the Reeses cups
2. Break the Oreos in half and then separate the pieces from one another so you have “bat wings”
3. Fill up a plastic bag with frosting and cut the tip of the bag and pipe the frosting onto the back corners of the broken cookie pieces
4. Press one cookie piece onto the left of the Reeses cup and another cookie piece on the right of the Reeses cup
5. Pipe frosting on the back of the edible eyes and secure on the top center of the Reeses cup
6. Repeat as necessary for as many bats as you’d like!
4. Rice Krispie Pumpkins
Ingredients
¼ cup butter
1 bag large marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies
Red & Yellow Liquid Food Coloring
Mini Recess Peanut Butter Cups
Green M&M's
¼ cup cooking oil in a small bowl (to keep it from sticking to your hands)
1. In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
2. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined with the butter.
3. Remove from the heat. Add several drops of yellow food colouring, mix it together, then add red food colouring one drop at a time, mixing as you go. Add red/yellow drops until you reach your desired colour. (I used about 4 drops red and 12 drops yellow). Mix well.
4. Add the Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
5. Coat both sides of your hands with a generous amount of cooking oil, and roll the Rice Krispie mixture into small balls. Set on parchment paper. Add oil to your hands after each ball.
6. While the balls are still warm, gently press a Mini Recess Peanut Butter Cups into the top of each pumpkin for the stem and add a green M&M beside it as the leaf.
7. Allow to cool until firm.
