Teal Pumpkin Crispy Treats

Ingredients:
  • 1 10oz bag of marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup SunButter Sunflower Seed Spread
  • 3 Tablespoons of cooking oil
  • blue and green food coloring
  • 5 cups of gluten-free crispy rice cereal
  • 1/2 cup allergy-friendly chocolate chips
Directions:
  1. In a large microwavable bowl add marshmallows and oil, toss to coat.
  2. Add SunButter Sunflower Seed Spread and microwave for 45 seconds, mix well, and microwave for another 45 seconds.
  3. Add 4-6 drops of blue food coloring, and one drop of green and mix well.
  4. Microwave another 20-30 seconds.
  5. Add crispy rice cereal and mix well.  If mixture becomes too hard to mix, microwave again for 20-30 seconds to soften it up.
  6. Press mixture into a parchment paper lined cookie sheet using an oiled spatula.  Make sure to press firmly until it’s approx 1/2-3/4″ thick.  Allow mixture to cool slightly, approx 5 minutes.
  7. Using a pumpkin shaped cookie cutter, press firmly creating pumpkin shaped treats.
  8. Empty chocolate chips into a small microwavable bowl.  Cook 45 seconds and mix well, cook another 30 seconds and mix, repeat this process until chocolate is melted being sure not to over cook!  
  9. Allow it to cool slightly then pour mixture into a sandwich size baggie and snip the corner off.  Pipe chocolate eyes, mouth, and stem onto your pumpkins.  OR Using a small paint brush, dip the brush into the chocolate and paint your pumpkins faces (the kids could help with this).
