Servings 12
Ingredients
- 7.5 oz (213g) jar of Marshmallow Fluff
- 1/2 stick (56g) unsalted butter
- 6-8 drops orange food colouring, or add as much as you want to get desired colour
- 4 cups (140g) rice krispies
- 12 large chocolate chips or Cadbury Curly Wurly Squirlies, with the ends cut off and sliced in half. (you can also use any straight, longish piece of chocolate candy you can find!)
- 12 green M&Ms
- Black writing icing
Instructions
- Place the marshmallow fluff and butter into a large saucepan over a low heat. Stir continuously until the butter is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Add in the orange food colouring, a few drops at a time until you get the desired shade of orange.
- Add in the rice krispies and stir until all the rice krispies are orange.
- Line a baking tray with grease proof paper/a silicone mat/Silpat.
- I find the shaping easier wearing disposable gloves, but you can do it with bare hands if you'd rather. They don't stick at all to the gloves, so that's why I wore them!! - Take a heaping 2tbsp of mixture and shape into a ball.
- Place onto your lined baking tray and stick either your large chocolate chips or curly wurly into the top of the pumpkin ball, in the centre.
- Press a green M&M to one side of the stem. Repeat until you've used all the rice krispie mixture. This mixture makes 12-14 rice krispie treats.
- Leave to set for 10 minutes before taking your black writing icing and drawing a face on one side of your pumpkin rice krispie treat. I did the simplest face possible with triangles for eyes and a zig zag for a mouth because I cannot draw, but go wild and get creative!
- Leave to set for 10-15 minutes and then enjoy! Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats will keep in an airtight container, at room temperature, for 5 days.
