Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 tbsp butter (unsalted)
  • 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • Green food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for hair)
  • 24 candy eyes (2 per treat)
  • Black decorating gel (for mouth and stitches)
  • Mini pretzel sticks or Tootsie Rolls (optional, for “bolts”)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pan: Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  • Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth.
  • Add Food Coloring: Stir in green food coloring until you reach a Frankenstein shade.
  • Mix in Cereal: Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies until fully coated.
  • Press Into Pan: Press mixture evenly into the prepared pan. Let cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Cut Shapes: Once set, cut into rectangles to form Frankenstein heads.
  • Decorate: Melt chocolate chips and dip the top of each rectangle to make Frankenstein’s “hair.” Press candy eyes onto the face while chocolate is still soft. Use black gel to draw a stitched mouth and scars. Insert pretzel sticks or Tootsie Rolls into sides for “neck bolts.”
  • Set and Serve: Let decorations firm up, then serve.
