Freaky Frankenstein Rice Crispy Treats
It wouldn’t be Halloween without a character dress-up. Now not just humans are dressing up, but so are our snacks!
Ingredients:
Three tablespoons of butter
One package of marshmallows
Six cups of rice crispy cereal
One package of white chocolate chips
Green food dye
A container of chocolate sprinkles
One package of dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan, melt down the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir.
- Once the marshmallows are melted, add the rice crispy cereal.
- Dump the mix into a 13x9x2-in baking pan. Chill.
- Once cooled, cut into 2in squares.
- Melt down the package of white chocolate chips over low heat. Add a few drops of green food dye until it’s at a ghoulish-Frankenstein green.
- Dip half of the rice crispy treat into the chocolate.
- Dip half of the chocolate side of the rice crispy treat into the chocolate sprinkles, so it gives the illusion of Frankenstein having hair.
- Melt down the package of dark chocolate chips over low heat.
- Using a small piping bag, create Frankenstein’s eyes and scar.
- Let cool for at least two hours or overnight and enjoy.
Creepy Caramel Apples
An apple is the perfect definition of fall. Apple picking, apple cider, apple donuts define the chilly season. Even though we won’t be bobbing for apples, we can still serve carmelized ones.
Ingredients:
A package of caramel candies
One tablespoon of water
Four green lady apples, sliced
Instructions:
- On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, lay out the apple slices. Do not overlap each apple.
- In a medium saucepan, add the unwrapped caramel candies and add one tablespoon of water. Stir consistency for two to three minutes or until the caramel is smooth.
- Once smooth, dump the caramel over the apple slices and use a spatula to spread it out over every piece.
- Add sprinkles, M&Ms, candy corn or other candies to add some Halloween pazzazz.
- Let cool overnight and enjoy!
