Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Pumpkin Rice Krispie treats with tootsie roll stumps and vines, you can even easily add pumpkin spice! Fun, delicious tutorial that is easy to follow in each step
What You Need
  • 1 small bag 10.5 oz mini marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 5 cups crisp rice cereal
  • chocolate tootsie rolls
  • green lime flavored tootsie rolls
  • orange gel food coloring
  • nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, add marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 60-90 seconds until marshmallows puff up and are about double in size. Remove from oven and stir well until butter is melted. Stir in a generous amount of orange gel food coloring.
  2. Pour cereal into mixture with marshmallows and mix well to evenly coat.
  3. Place wax paper onto a flat surface.
  4. Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray (don't avoid this step). Grab a handful of cereal mixture and shape into a ball, a little smaller than a baseball. Press firmly to shape and place onto wax paper. Once all your pumpkins have been made, set aside.
  5. Microwave 2 chocolate tootsie rolls at a time for five seconds. Shape and squish the rolls into a stem-like shape and press firmly onto the pumpkins.
  6. Microwave 3 lime flavored tootsie rolls for 5 seconds. Cut in half and shape into a leaf. Press firmly onto the pumpkin next to the stem. To create a vine, take one green tootsie roll and make a snake shape. Flatten the end to resemble a leaf. Press one end of the "snake" onto the stem and twist it around to create a curly q. Press other end gently onto pumpkin.
  7. Makes 8-10 pumpkins.
