Halloween rice crispy pumpkins

The one thing we love is an excuse to celebrate, weather its christmas, easter, or halloween you will always find us making or baking sweet treats. 
We wanted to make some halloween inspired treats that you can make either at home or while camping. If your braving it in the uk right now you are our hero.

To make these rather tasty looking rice crispy pumpkins you will need 

3tbs Butter

100g Rice crispy's 

200g Marshmallows 

4 flakes chopped up for the stalks 

Orange food colouring

Half  tsp of Vanilla extract 

Step 1

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter into a saucepan until slightly brown, then add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract 

Step 2

Slowly start adding your marshmallows, we added 3 at a time keep mixing all the time to stop them sticking to the pan

Keep staring until they start to turn into what looks like cream make sure you turn off the heat.

 Step 3

Add a few drops of your orange food colouring into your marshmallow creamy creation

Step 4

Start to slowly adding the rice crispy's mixing together as you add

Keep mixing and adding, until you have all the crispy's coated with the marshmallow this bit is so hard not to eat... mmm. leave your mixture until cool enough to handle

Step 5

once they have cooled its time to get messy we would suggest putting a little oil on your hands or it gets messy. Take out your mixture and roll the mixture into your desired shape 

leave them on a plate to cool even more 

Step 6

Use a wooden spoon to create holes in the top for your stalks 

Step 7

Use your cut up flake as a stalk and push into the top. you now have your completed pumpkin treats you can add decorations with sweets or icing we personally like to keep ours just as they are.

we hope you enjoy your halloween inspired treats weather your camping or at home. 

 HAPPY AUTUMN.
