Rice Krispie Brains Halloween (Ready-to-Print Version)
Pink marshmallow treats shaped like brains with crispy cereal for a spooky Halloween delight.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Butter
01 -
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
→ Marshmallows
02 -
1 bag (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
→ Cereal
03 -
5 cups Rice Krispies toasted rice cereal
→ Additives
04 -
Pink food coloring (optional)
05 -
Unsalted butter for hands (as needed)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
In a large nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the unsalted butter, stirring occasionally to prevent browning.
02 -
Add mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until fully melted into a smooth and glossy mixture, keeping the heat gentle.
03 -
If desired, add pink food coloring dropwise and mix thoroughly to achieve an even, lifelike color.
04 -
Remove the pan from heat and fold in the Rice Krispies cereal gently until fully coated, avoiding crushing the cereal.
05 -
Butter your hands generously. While the mixture is warm but not hot, scoop portions and mold into oval brain shapes, using fingers to create grooves and folds.
# Handy Tips:
01 -
Shape the mixture while warm for best pliability; cooled mixture will harden and be difficult to mold.
02 -
Store shaped treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to retain chewiness; avoid refrigeration.
