Ingredients
Scale
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (unsalted butter can be used)
- 6 cups mini marshmallows (regular marshmallows are a substitute)
- 5–6 drops orange gel food coloring (liquid food coloring can be used but is less vibrant)
- 6 cups Rice Krispie cereal (other puffed rice cereals can be used)
- half Tootsie rolls (for pumpkin stems)
- as needed green frosting (any green icing can be used)
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat for about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine mini marshmallows and orange gel food coloring with the melted butter until smooth.
- Mix in Rice Krispies gently until evenly coated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
- Shape the mixture into pumpkin-sized balls, about the size of a golf ball.
