CUTE NON-PUMPKIN RITZ JACK O' LANTERN COOKIES

Steps:

• Sandwich peanut butter between crackers.
• Melt almond bark.
• Add 1 drop each of red and yellow food coloring and stir.
• *** NOTE!= Beware! I have done this in the past with no problems but the most recent batch of almond bark began seizing on me so I had to add solid shortening, melt, and stir. Each brand is different! I used the orange candy melts to avoid this next.
• Dip crackers let dry on waxed paper-repeat for more.
• Before they dry I draw 2 curved lines from so they look like this ( ) to make it resemble a pumpkin.
• While still wet stick a green sprinkle (you could use anything else to make the stem too such as cut gumdrop).
• Draw jack-o-lantern face on with gel or food coloring pen. Enjoy!
• Great for the kids!

• Pour rice krispy mixture into a greased Bundt pan, and press firmly and spread evenly with the bottom of a buttered spatula. Let it cool.
• Loosen the edges of the krispy treat and turn bundt pan over to remove it. Place rounded side down and flat side up on a plate.
• Repeat the previous steps again but this time as soon as the marshmallows are melted put 1/2 cup of melted marshmallows aside in a separate bowl. Have someone help you on this step because the marshmallows will firm up quickly.

• What works best is to make the cool-whip"ghosts" ahead on a cookie sheet and store them in the freezer until ready to use.
