Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 10 ounces marshmallows Use mini or regular marshmallows.
- 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
- to taste Red food coloring Adjust based on desired color intensity.
- optional Candy eyes For decoration.
Instructions
Preparation
- Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the red food coloring to the melted mixture based on how 'brainy' you want them to look.
- Remove the pot from heat and quickly stir in the Rice Krispies until they are well-coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Using a greased spatula or buttered hands, mold small handfuls of the mixture into brain shapes.
- Place the formed brains on a lined baking sheet and allow them to cool. Optionally, add candy eyes on top before they set.
Notes
To prevent the marshmallow mixture from sticking too much while shaping, coat your hands lightly with butter or oil. You can also add M&Ms or chocolate chips for extra flavor. Experiment with different colors of food dye for a variety of spooky treats.
