We made these for a birthday party. They were really easy, and a big hit with the kids.
Ingredients
3 tablespoons salted butter
10 ounce package marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies or other puffed rice cereal
4 cups white melting chocolate (we used Ghiradelli, but any brand is fine)
24 edible candy eyes (available at Target, Amazon, and in the baking section of many grocery stores)
Food coloring
Instructions
Grease a 9x13 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Melt the butter in large saucepan or pot.
Add the marshmallows, turn the heat to low, and stir until the marshmallows have completely melted.
Stir in the Rice Krispies gradually until completely combined with the marshmallow mixture.
Press the Rice Krispie mixture into the greased baking pan. Greasing your hands helps prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
Allow treats to cool and then cut into 12 rectangles.
Place a sheet of parchment paper over a baking sheet.
Put 1 cup of the chocolate melts into microwave-safe dish. Microwave, 30 seconds at a time until the candy has melted. Stir in a few drops of food coloring. Repeat for each color that you want to use.
For the kids:
Dip each treat into the colored chocolate, covering about 1/3 of each rectangle. Try dipping them both vertically and horizontally.
Lay each rectangle onto the sheet of parchment paper.
Arrange the candy eyes onto the melted chocolate. Experiment with different arrangements and different numbers of eyes.
Let chocolate cool and harden.
Eat!
