Give me a theme or holiday, and chances are I can come up with a rice krispie treat that fits the bill. What can I say? It’s a gift.
The kids are under the impression I do this solely for them (I may have falsely led them to this conclusion,) in reality I make them for me. Yes, me, the slightly older ‘kid,” a kidult if you will.
With fall in full force and Halloween on the horizon, my thoughts turn to spooky treats and delicious eats….so I give you, monster rice kristpie treats!
Ridiculously delicious and cute if I might add, but most importantly treat-or-treat/school friendly.
INGREDIENTS:
1/4 cup butter
5 cups of miniature or 40 large marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 cups rice krispies cereal
Candy melts in assorted colours
Candied eyes
