Instructions
Making Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats involves simple steps that anyone can follow to create these delightful desserts:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Clear a flat surface and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Melt Butter: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
3. Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until they are completely melted.
4. Color the Mixture: Add a few drops of green food coloring to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir until you achieve your desired shade of green.
5. Combine with Cereal: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the marshmallow mixture. Stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
6. Shape the Treats: Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes. Once it’s cool enough to handle, use your hands (grease with butter if needed) to shape the mixture into Frankenstein heads. Flatten the top slightly and round out the sides.
7. Decorate: Using black gel icing, draw eyes and a mouth. Place candy eyes on top for added fun. Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles on the top of the heads for “hair.”
8. Setting Time: Allow the shaped treats to sit for about 30 minutes to set properly.
9. Add Final Touches: If using melted chocolate for décor, dip the bottom of each treat in melted chocolate and place on a plate to firm up.
