  • green food coloring gel works best
  • 1 cup melting chocolate black or dark brown

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • 9×13-inch Pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
  2. In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in mini marshmallows until smooth.
  3. Mix in green food coloring until the marshmallow mixture turns Frankenstein green.
  4. Fold in Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  5. Press mixture into prepared pan. Let cool for 30 minutes.
  6. Cut into rectangles for Frankenstein faces.
  7. Melt chocolate. Dip tops of bars in chocolate to create hair. Let set.
  8. Attach candy eyes with melted chocolate. Add mini marshmallow halves on sides for bolts. Draw mouth and stitches with black icing.

Notes

Use gel food coloring for the brightest green. If the marshmallow mix firms too quickly, microwave briefly to soften. Kids can help decorate with icing or edible markers for more fun.
