Craving a sweet treat? Looking for a fun and festive dessert to make with your kids? These ooey, gooey pumpkin shaped treats are just the thing!
Halloween Marshmallow Treats
- 3 Tb. butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- Orange food coloring
- 6 cups rice crisp cereal
- 1 Hershey’s chocolate bar (broken into 12 pieces)
- Green gel icing
- Cooking spray
Directions:
In a large microwave safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows on high for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Continue stirring until smooth. Add rice crisp cereal and orange food coloring and stir until incorporated and desired color is achieved.
Using a ½ cup measuring cup coated with cooking spray, divide the cereal mixture into 12 portions. Using buttered hands, shape each portion into a round pumpkin shape. While still soft, stick a piece of chocolate in the top of each pumpkin to serve as the stem (use a butter knife to cut a slot if necessary). Use the green icing to put a vine on each pumpkin. Serve the same day.

We love Rice Krispie Treats so I know this recipe will be a hit in our home. So cute for Halloween and easy to make which I like. Of course the chocolate doesn’t hurt..lol
This is so cute, and looks easy to make. Also love that the candy decorations are not overwhelming. I hate sweets that change the dessert and is loaded with frosting or candy decoration.
I love these pumpkins. I add alittle food coloring to the marshmallow ‘goo’ and turn them orange! Big hit with the kids!
Great recipe! Saving and defin. making this!
They look delicious and I’m sure my kids are gonna love them.
