Halloween is definitely a fan favorite holiday in my household. From pressing ALL of the haunted house buttons at the store to eating our weight in candy and cookies BEFORE Halloween, it is easy to see why. And even though Halloween this year may look a little different, the spirit of Halloween is still in full swing in our household!
This would have been my son’s first “real” Halloween. While we are still uncertain of whether we will be trick or treating or not, we have been supplying him with all the tricks and treats while we wait it out. If you’re looking for some trick or treat alternatives, look at THIS POST for several family friendly activities and ideas!
While we all love the day of Halloween, I love getting to create fun snacks and treats for the weeks leading up without feeling guilty for having constant sugary treats in the house! I send some to my sibling who let me know how jealous their friends were, a little something special in my husband’s lunch, and my son tries to sneak one after the other all day, everyday while home with me.
This week, my son and I were able to make a treat together (me making them, and him licking everything)- Frankenstein Rice Krispies! These turned out ADORABLE and were so incredibly easy to make. I will definitely be whipping up another batch before the season is over. Learn how to make Frankenstein Rice Krispies below!
Frankenstein Rice Krispies Recipe:
The Ingredients:
2 Tbs. Butter
1 Package Mini Marshmallows
1 Box Rice Cereal
Green Food Coloring
Melting Chocolate
Candy Eyes
The Directions:
-In a microwave safe bowl, add your butter and marshmallows. Heat until the marshmallows are warm and puffy. Beat the marshmallow misture together until smooth and sticky- microwave longer if needed.
-Add in green food coloring until you reach the color of Frankenstein you desire.
-Immediately start mixing in the rice cereal, adding more until the consistency is to your liking.
-Cover a glass pan heavily with an oil spray, and add in your krispy treat mixture. Using a spatula sprayed with oil, press down firmly to flatten the treats.
-Place in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to cool and firm.
-Take out of the freezer and cut into rectangles- whatever size you would like.
-Heat your melting chocolate using the instructions on the packaging. Dip the top ¼ of your treat in chocolate, and place on a rack or parchment paper.
-Spoon the rest of your chocolate into a sandwich bag and snip off a small part of the corner. Use this to draw on the stitching of his mouth, and to secure the candy eyes.
-Let the chocolate firm, and serve!
