Chilling Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 12 treats

Ingredients:

• 40 large marshmallows
• 1/4 cup butter
• Green food coloring
• 6 cups rice cereal
• Black or Dark Chocolate Frosting
• Candy eyes

How to Make Frankenstein Rice Krispies Treats:

1. Prep Your Pan:
   • Line a 13×9 baking pan with foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides for easy removal.
   • Lightly coat the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Melt and Mix:
   • Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
   • Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
3. Get that Ghoulish Green:
   • Add 2 to 3 drops of green food coloring to the melted marshmallows, stirring until the desired Frankenstein green is achieved.
4. Cereal Fusion:
   • Remove from heat and stir in the rice cereal in 2-cup increments for even coating.
5. Spread the Spooky Base:
   • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and use a nonstick spray-coated spatula to spread evenly.
6. Let It Set:
   • Allow the mixture to cool and firm up for 20 to 30 minutes.
7. Lift and Slice:
   • Lift the treats from the pan using the foil overhang and cut into 12 rectangles.
8. Create the Creature:
   • Use black icing to draw Frankenstein’s features—hair, eyebrows, and mouth. Add “stitches” if desired.
9. Eyes of Candy:
   • Dot a small amount of black icing where the eyes will go and press on candy eyes.
10. Savor the Spookiness:
    • Enjoy the spooky, tasty treats you’ve created!

Expert Tips:

• Use nonstick cooking spray on your spatula for easier spreading.
• Experiment with different shades of green for unique Frankenstein faces.
