Preparation
- Grab a large pot, a spatula, a bowl for mixing, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In the large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Be careful not to let it brown.
- Once melted, add in the marshmallows and stir constantly until they are completely melted. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add a few drops of orange food coloring to the pot. Stir until the color is fully blended.
- Remove the pot from heat and add in the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir well until all the cereal is coated.
- Use your greased hands to shape the mixture into pumpkin-like balls or lumps and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- While the mixture is still pliable, press pieces of candy corn into the top of each pumpkin treat to create the 'stem.'
- Allow the treats to cool at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week. To soften, microwave for about 10 seconds.
