During
Halloween, I am always looking for a treat not only for the Halloween Baskets
but for my students. We found a great idea on Pinterest and decided to make
them for both.
Start with
melting your butter and marshmallows in a big bowl. Add some orange food
coloring.
Next stir in
your rice krispies. Next, the
messy part….
Take a handful of Rice Krispies into a ball, until it looks like a
pumpkin. Add an
unwrapped tootsie roll to make the pumpkin’s stem. Let the
pumpkins set for twenty minutes.
Next add
green icing leaves and vines to the pumpkins. Now the original idea was to use green fondant but I don't really like fondant. So my genius of a daughter mentioned the green tootsie roll....
Oh My, they were perfect. They rolled out just like fondant without the mess.
Allow to set
for another twenty minutes to get the tootsie roll hardened a little.
Set in a
decorator bag. Tie with a
pretty ribbon.
All ready for
the students and my baskets!!!
I will have to attempt making those. So original!
