Rice Krispie Treat Pumpkins Recipes

RICE KRISPIE TREAT PUMPKINS

Steps:

• In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined with the butter.
• Remove from the heat. Add several drops of yellow food colouring, mix it together, then add red food colouring one drop at a time, mixing as you go. Add red/yellow drops until you reach your desired colour. (I used about 4 drops red and 12 drops yellow). Mix well.
• Add the Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
• Coat both sides of your hands with a generous amount of cooking oil or butter, and roll the Rice Krispie mixture into small balls. Set on parchment paper. Add oil/butter to your hands after each ball.
• While the balls are still warm, gently press a Mini Rolo into the top of each pumpkin for the stem and add a green M&M beside it as the leaf. (Tip: If the pumpkins cool before you're finished, use the end of a thick marker or apple corer to make a small indent in the top for the chocolate to sit in.)
• Allow to cool until firm.

PUMPKIN PIE RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Generously spray a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray. I used an 11×7 because I like thicker treats - go with your preference. Set pan aside.
• In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the pumpkin puree and continue to cook until it is warmed through. Fold marshmallows, stirring frequently until almost completely melted. Stir in vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt, and remove from heat.
• Allow the marshmallow mixture to cool for 20 minutes or until it is at room temperature (failure to cool the mixture will result in soggy Rice Krispie treats). Add the cereal and stir until combined.
• Pour mixture into prepared baking pan and gently spread out evenly. I sprayed the back of a large spatula with non-stick spray and gently pressed the mixture without packing it down. Allow to set for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares. Melt white chocolate and drizzle on top.
• Store in an airtight container up to one week. You could even cut these treats into pumpkin shapes or decorate with regular candy corns. Enjoy!

PUMPKIN RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Measure out rice krispies cereal and pour into a bowl. Melt butter in a 4 quart non-stick saucepan or pot over medium-low heat.
• Add marshmallows and stir and as they begin to melt start adding in the gel food coloring until desired color is achieved. Stir constantly until marshmallows have melted.
• Remove from heat then immediately pour in rice krispies cereal and gently stir and fold with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated. Let mixture cool slightly (until it's cool enough to handle with your hands).
• Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray then shape rice krispie treat mixture into balls about the size of a baseball, then insert 1 piece of the pretzel rod into the top center and reshape the pumpkin as needed. Transfer to a plate or dish sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
• Beginning on one side of the airhead candy cut out a leaf shape with clean scissors then use the remaining portion of the piece of candy to roll and shape into a thin rope shape then twist into a vine shape (or just shape the fondant accordingly, no cutting required).
• Place candy on the sides of each pretzel on the pumpkin (as pictured). Repeat with remaining candy. Store in an airtight container.

PUMPKIN RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Melt the butter on low heat in a large saucepan or in the microwave.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted or you can melt in the microwave in 30 second increments.
• Remove from heat and add 4 drops of the yellow food coloring and 2 drops of the red food coloring. Stir until the marshmallow mixture is the orange,
• Gradually add in the rice krispies cereal. Mix until completely coated.
• Spread evenly into a large pan to cool slightly. We poured ours onto a jelly roll pan.
• Allow the mixture to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not refrigerate as it will cause the rice krispies to be too hard.
• After this cooling time, form the rice krispies into small balls that are approximately 2 inches in diameter.
• Press the tootsie roll pieces into the center of the balls to form the pumpkin shape.
• Create the pumpkin leaves by cutting the green fruit roll ups. I cut the fruit roll-ups into square and then cut them diagonally to form small triangles. Place them on the pumpkin rice krispies next to the tootsie roll stems.
• Allow the pumpkins to cool completely and then enjoy!

RICE KRISPIE PUMPKIN TREATS

Steps:

• Melt margarine in large microwave safe bowl. Add marshmallows, and heat again in microwave until soft and fluffy. Put in a few drops of food coloring to achieve desired color. Stir in cereal and mix well. Using lightly greased hands, shape into small handful sized balls. Place onto pan lined with parchment paper and put candy piece in the top for a stem. Pumpkins aren't generally perfectly round, so it makes this a very kid friendly recipe.
