Frankenstein Treats

Ingredients

3 Tbsp. butter
10 oz. marshmallows
1/4 c. peanut butter (optional)
2-3 drops green food coloring
6 c. crisped rice cereal
1 c. chocolate chips
2 Tbsp. milk
straws
candy eyes
mini marshmallows

Directions

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Add peanut butter and green food coloring. Stir well and remove from heat.

Add cereal. Stir until well coated.

Using a buttered spatula or damp hands, press mixture into squares roughly 3 by 4 inches. Poke a straw into the bottom of each square.

While the squares cool, add the chocolate chips and milk to a microwave safe container. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add the chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip. Use the chocolate as glue to attach eyes and marshmallows. Pipe on a mouth and hair. Let the chocolate and the bars cool completely before serving.
