This requires a bundt cake pan. It is fun and easy to make and the end result is so cute. Its great for parties because it uses four batches of the rice krispy treats recipe. Make the face with black colored icing or fondant. Orange , green and black food color will be required, I recommend using the food color paste that is used for cake decorating, buy it at the craft store.

Tips:

  • For perfectly crispy rice cereal treats, use fresh Rice Krispie cereal. Avoid using older cereal that may have lost its crispiness.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture. If it gets too dark, it will taste burnt and ruin the flavor of the treats.
  • If you want to add mix-ins to your treats, such as chopped nuts, dried fruit, or marshmallows, do so after the cereal has been added to the sugar mixture.
  • For a fun and festive twist, shape the treats into Jack-o'-lantern shapes using cookie cutters.
  • Serve the treats immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
