Prep Time
Ingredients
- 8 Tbs. unsalted butter
- 8 cups mini marshmallows
- Green food coloring
- 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Pretzel sticks
- 1 cup chocolate melting wafers or semisweet chocolate chips
- Chocolate sprinkles
- Candy eyes
Instructions
PrintAdd butter to large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-low heat. Once butter has melted, stir in the marshmallows and cook, stirring, until the mixture is smooth. Add food coloring until the mixture reaches your desired color, then stir in the cereal until well-coated. Immediately pour mixture into a 13 x 9-inch baking pan. (The pan does not have to be greased.) Flatten the cereal into an even layer; let cool completely, about 15 min.
Once cool, invert the pan onto a cutting board and cut into 12 or 18 rectangles (depending on desired size). Break each pretzel stick in half, then insert each half into the sides of the treats to form the "bolts" in Frankenstein's neck.
Melt the chocolate per the package instructions until smooth. Dip the tops of the treats into the melted chocolate, and immediately top with sprinkles. Transfer remaining chocolate to small zip-top bag; snip off a corner. Use chocolate to adhere the candy eyes and pipe mouths. Let the treats set until the chocolate has fully hardened, about 10 min., then serve.
