It's going to be a rice krispie halloween!

I have very fond memories of my mom making Rice Krispie Squares in our kitchen - I loved to help her make them as I got old enough; they really are one of the easiest treats to make - with few ingredients and little work.

As a part of the Kellogger's network, I am pleased to show you our latest package!  Included was a box of Rice Krispies, a 250g bag of marshmallows, pumpkin and bat cookie cutters and lots of candy to decorate with. For all sorts of shapes and decorating ideas head over to the Rice Krispies website!

What you will need (the recipe can be found on the Rice Krispies box also)
1/4 cup butter/margarine
1 (250g) bag of marshmallows
6 cups of rice krispies
vanilla extract (optional)

the contents of the latest package

To make things easier, we waited until Mr. K went to bed - and then Mr. J and I got to work in the kitchen. We melted 1/4 cup of butter in a large pot, then added in the 250g bag of marshmallows. We melted the marshmallows over low heat, and then we poured in 6cups of rice krispies. I used a wooden spoon to combine everything.

yummy marshmallowy goodness!

Once combined, I used a spoon to scoop out the warm mixture onto a cookie sheet (I lined it with foil and sprayed with cooking spray). I patted the mixture down (using a ziplock bag with the outside coated with a small amount of butter to avoid sticking)

working away!

We then set to work - we moulded the monster heads into balls; shaped the snake and we let the rest of the mixture firm up a little to use the cookie cutters.

I would like to extend my thanks to the Kellogger's network for sending me this package of goodies! Mr. J and I certainly had fun putting it all together!
