Rice Krispies characters

Rice Krispies characters

These Rice Krispies characters are great creative fun for the kids, especially for halloween and Christmas treats

Takes: 15 - 20 minutes preparation time plus extra for decoration
Makes: About 8 characters

What you need:

  • ½ tbsp butter or margarine
  • 110g white marshmallows
  • 90g Kellogg's Rice Krispies or Ricicles
  • 50g desiccated coconut
  • Decoration (dried cranberries, currants or blueberries or Kellogg's Honey Loops for eyes and mouth)

What you do:

  1. Melt butter or margarine in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat
  2. Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies or Ricicles and stir until well coated
  3. While mixture is still warm, shape with wet or greased hands into any desired design (see craft suggestions) and roll or press coconut onto surface
  4. Attach decorations of choice using a little melted chocolate or prepared icing. If cut, most dried fruit will stick without needing to do this
  5. To make flat ghost shapes, flatten mixture onto a greased 33 x 20cm swiss roll baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper, using a greased spatula. The quantity will fill half the tray
  6. Depending on required size, cut mixture into squares or rectangles prior to cutting out ghost shapes which can then be bent into required shapes
