Rice Krispie Pumpkins!

Talk about the simplest cutest thing you can make! I made them for a Halloween party and they probably went the fastest. The picture isn't great because I couldn't get a picture of one before they were all gone!

Just for the record this was not the prettiest pumpkin of the patch!

To make these just make a batch of rice krispies. (I made a double batch because it was for a large group.) After you stir in the cereal add orange food coloring as you mix everything together. When everything is mixed and the color you want, you'll need to let them sit for a little bit before molding them into pumpkin shapes...if you don't it will be super messy!!!!!! They will end up covering your hands like gloves instead of forming shapes. When the krispies have cooled (but are still warm enough to mold) start shaping them and put them on a cookie sheet. 

Next, unwrap a bunch of tootsie rolls and zap them in the microwave for 15 seconds, so they melt ever so slightly. This way you can push them into the tops of the pumpkins and they will stick. 

Finally, get some green gel paste or icing and pipe little vines along the top! If you have extra time you can make jack-o-lantern faces too!

They are yummy, easy, and so fun!
