Pumpkin shaped rice krispie treats

Here’s what you need to make Pumpkin Shaped Rice Krispie Treats:
1 package (10.5 oz.) of miniature marshmallows
3 Tbsp. butter / margarine
1/8 tsp. salt
Red and yellow food coloring
6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
Wax paper
3 Small Tootsie Rolls cut in half
Black decorating gel


1. Melt marshmallows, butter and salt in a saucepan, or in microwave for two minutes
2. Add a few drops of red and yellow food coloring to turn mixture orange.
3. Stir in the Rice Krispies.
4. Scoop the orange mixture onto six separate pieces of wax paper.
5. Wrap the wax paper around the mixture and shape it into six pumpkins.
6. Cool for about a half hour then remove the wax paper.
7. Press a Tootsie Roll half into each pumpkin to create the stem.
8. Decorate the pumpkins with black decorating gel. (We bought black frosting by mistake so make sure you buy the gel because it’s easier to decorate with!)
