Kürbis-Rice-Krispies-Leckereien

Zutaten

• 6 cups rice krispies cereal
• 3 Tbsp salted butter
• 1 (10 oz) pkg. mini marshmallows
• Orange gel food coloring
• 3 pretzel rods, (end portions broken off into 2-inch pieces (so you'll have 6 pieces))
• 6 mini green airheads or green fondant*
• Non-stick cooking spray

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Measure out rice krispies cereal and pour into a bowl. Melt butter in a 4 quart non-stick saucepan or pot over medium-low heat.

2. 2

   Add marshmallows and stir and as they begin to melt start adding in the gel food coloring until desired color is achieved. Stir constantly until marshmallows have melted.

3. 3

   Remove from heat then immediately pour in rice krispies cereal and gently stir and fold with a spatula until cereal is evenly coated. Let mixture cool slightly (until it's cool enough to handle with your hands).

4. 4

   Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray then shape rice krispie treat mixture into balls about the size of a baseball, then insert 1 piece of the pretzel rod into the top center and reshape the pumpkin as needed. Transfer to a plate or dish sprayed lightly with cooking spray.

5. 5

   Beginning on one side of the airhead candy cut out a leaf shape with clean scissors then use the remaining portion of the piece of candy to roll and shape into a thin rope shape then twist into a vine shape (or just shape the fondant accordingly, no cutting required).

6. 6

   Place candy on the sides of each pretzel on the pumpkin (as pictured). Repeat with remaining candy. Store in an airtight container.
