A 9x13 baking dish to mold this treatParchment paper
A piping bag, coupler, and writing tips for making the stitches and eyebrows (you could also use a larger round tip for a bigger impact)
- 6 cups 6 cups rice cereal
- 3 Tbsp. butter unsalted
- 5&1/2 cups mini marshmallows a fresh new bag
- ½ tsp. food coloring green - amount will vary depending on how dark you want to make the green
- 1 regular marshmallow
- 1 16 oz. chocolate frosting
- ⅓ cup chocolate sprinkles jimmies
- 2 regular M&Ms I used Halloween green
- 2 drops decorative gel black gel
In a large saucepan over medium heat, add butter and melt it
Once the butter is melted add the marshmallows
Reduce heat to low and stir marshmallows until they are melted
Remove from heat
Add some food coloring and stir in - Add more if you want a darker color
Pour rice crisp cereal into a large mixing bowl and fold in the colored marshmallow
Line a baking dish with parchment paper
Scoop the rice krispies cereal into the baking dish and spread out
Let it cool off enough for the marshmallows to harden a little bit, so when you lift it up out of the pan it won't fall apart
Once the marshmallows have set up a little bit, lift the parchment paper up and out of the baking dish
Decorating
Spread some of the chocolate frosting onto the top part of the rectangle, pulling some down into jagged edges for Frank's bangs
Sprinkle chocolate sprinkles onto the frosting
Use kitchen shears to cut the tips off of a regular sized marshmallow
Place those tips onto the rectangle for the eyes
Add M&Ms to the center of the marshmallows and black gel for the pupils
Scoop the rest of the chocolate frosting into a piping bag that has been set up with a writing tip
Draw stitches for a mouth and eyebrows
You can also add some more stitches to Frank's forehead
Add a couple of mini marshmallows on the neck portion for Frank's bolts
When the frosting has had time to dry and harden, you can transfer Frank onto a tray and cut the large rice krispies treat into smaller rectangles
