Ingredients:

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • Green food coloring
  • Chocolate chips (for hair)
  • Candy eyes
  • Pretzel rods (for bolts)
  • Black icing gel (for the mouth)

Equipment:

  • Large saucepan
  • Wooden spoon
  • Baking dish (9×13 inches)
  • Parchment paper
  • Sharp knife (adult supervision required)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Melt the Marshmallows:
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted.
  • Adult Supervision: This step requires an adult to handle the hot saucepan and stove.
Color the Mixture:
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in green food coloring until the marshmallow mixture is evenly colored.
Mix in the Cereal:
  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the green marshmallow mixture and stir until the cereal is well-coated.
Shape the Treats:
  • Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the dish and press it down evenly using a buttered spatula or wax paper.
Cut into Rectangles:
  • Once the mixture has cooled slightly, have an adult help cut it into rectangles to form Frankenstein’s head.
Decorate Frankenstein:
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth.
  • Dip the top of each rectangle into the melted chocolate to create Frankenstein’s hair.
  • Place candy eyes just below the hairline and add a line of black icing gel for the mouth.
  • Stick a piece of pretzel rod into each side of the rectangle to resemble Frankenstein’s bolts.
Let Them Set:
  • Allow the treats to cool and set completely before serving.
Enjoy!
  • Your Frankenstein Rice Krispies Treats are ready to be devoured!
