Graces Hershy Pumpkin Swirl Kisses Rice Crispies Recipes

PUMPKIN RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Measure out rice krispies cereal and pour into a bowl. Melt butter in a 4 quart non-stick saucepan or pot over medium-low heat.
• Add marshmallows and stir and as they begin to melt start adding in the gel food coloring until desired color is achieved. Stir constantly until marshmallows have melted.
• Remove from heat then immediately pour in rice krispies cereal and gently stir and fold with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated. Let mixture cool slightly (until it's cool enough to handle with your hands).
• Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray then shape rice krispie treat mixture into balls about the size of a baseball, then insert 1 piece of the pretzel rod into the top center and reshape the pumpkin as needed. Transfer to a plate or dish sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
• Beginning on one side of the airhead candy cut out a leaf shape with clean scissors then use the remaining portion of the piece of candy to roll and shape into a thin rope shape then twist into a vine shape (or just shape the fondant accordingly, no cutting required).
• Place candy on the sides of each pretzel on the pumpkin (as pictured). Repeat with remaining candy. Store in an airtight container.

PUMPKIN RICE KRISPIE TREATS

Steps:

• Melt the butter on low heat in a large saucepan or in the microwave.
• Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted or you can melt in the microwave in 30 second increments.
• Remove from heat and add 4 drops of the yellow food coloring and 2 drops of the red food coloring. Stir until the marshmallow mixture is the orange,
• Gradually add in the rice krispies cereal. Mix until completely coated.
• Spread evenly into a large pan to cool slightly. We poured ours onto a jelly roll pan.
• Allow the mixture to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not refrigerate as it will cause the rice krispies to be too hard.
• After this cooling time, form the rice krispies into small balls that are approximately 2 inches in diameter.
• Press the tootsie roll pieces into the center of the balls to form the pumpkin shape.
• Create the pumpkin leaves by cutting the green fruit roll ups. I cut the fruit roll-ups into square and then cut them diagonally to form small triangles. Place them on the pumpkin rice krispies next to the tootsie roll stems.
• Allow the pumpkins to cool completely and then enjoy!
