Frankenstein Rice Cereal Bars

Prep Time 20 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Makes 24 bars

Ingredients

  • 60 g 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 400 g 14 oz mini marshmallows
  • Green gel food colouring about 1 tsp
  • 200 g 6.5 cups puffed rice cereal
  • 48 mini chocolate chips for eyes, 2 per bar
  • Black tube gel icing for the mouth and hair details
  • 24 small square black sprinkles or black fondant pieces for the bolts on the neck
  • Cooking spray
  • 9 x13 in 23x33 cm baking pan

Instructions

  • Coat the baking pan and a large mixing bowl with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts. Add the mini marshmallows and microwave in 45-second bursts, stirring between each, until the marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
  • Stir in the green gel food colouring until the mixture is an even bright green. Work quickly as it starts to firm.
  • Pour the puffed rice cereal into the green marshmallow mixture and stir until every piece is coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking pan. Let it set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Once set, cut into 24 equal rectangles.
  • Press two mini chocolate chips near the top of each bar as eyes. Use the black gel icing to pipe a straight-line mouth and a short row of hair lines at the top. Press a black sprinkle on each lower corner as a bolt.
