Ingredients
Scale
6 cups rice Krispies cereal
3 tablespoons butter
10 oz bag miniature marshmallows
Red food coloring
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the butter over low heat in a large pot, then add marshmallows, stirring until marshmallows are melted.
Stir in a few drops of food coloring – we used 5, but you could use less for a lighter color.
Stir in the cereal.
Use the ice cream scoop to gather the mixture and drop it onto your prepared tray. Form the mixture into an oval, then separate slightly in the middle with the fat end of a butterknife to form the “brain”.
Add some food coloring to a bowl and use the paintbrush to paint “veins” onto the brains.
Notes
This recipe is great for Halloween parties and gatherings.
