Halloween Treats By Emily Stapleton

Since we have now entered fall, I’ve decided to give all the bakers some cool festive treats. Most people think of apple, cinnamon, and pumpkin spice.

Treat Title:

Marshmallow Treats

ShanaLee allrecipes.com

24 servings

Ingredients Needed:

¼ c. of butter

4 c. of mini marshmallows

5 c. of crisp rice cereal

Directions:

Melt the butter in a pot over low heat.

Add in marshmallow and stir until blended together.

Add in cereal, stir until coated in the butter, marshmallow mixture.

Use a buttered spatula to scrap out mixture into a 13 x 9 pan.

Cool.

Cut in desired squares.

(You can form them into pumpkins and dye orange and add a stem with a vine coming out.)

Enjoy!
