Ingredients: 3 tablespoons butter or margarine ~ 1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows - OR - 4 cups of miniature marshmallows ~ 6 cups of Kellogg's Rice Krispies ~ orange food coloring ~ green cookie icing ~ black cookie icing ~ Tootsie Rolls ~ Pumpkin shaped pan
Directions: In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and add orange food coloring. Now add the rice krispies. Stir until well coated. Firmly press enough mixture into the pumpkin shaped pans until even with the top of each cup. Once the molded treats have cooled place two of them together to create a pumpkin shape. (If you do not have a pumpkin shaped pan just roll baseball shaped balls with your hand.) Use a little green cookie icing to draw on some vine squigglies. Now squish a tootsie roll and place on top for a great looking stem. You can leave them plain -or- use the black cookie icing to draw on faces. NOTE: These are best if served the same day. If you store them make sure it is at room temperature in an airtight container or wrap them in cellophane wrap for now more than two days. Always use fresh marshmallows. ~ Chef ~
