Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons butter
- Red food coloring Use as needed for desired color
- Green food coloring (optional) For additional decoration
- Candy eyeballs For decoration
- Cooking spray or wax paper For easy removal
Instructions
Preparation
- Start by greasing a large bowl with cooking spray, or lay down a piece of wax paper on your working surface.
Melting
- In a large pot over low heat, combine the butter and marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are melted and smooth.
Coloring
- Once melted, divide the marshmallow mixture into two bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of red food coloring and mix until the color is uniform. In the second bowl, if using, add a drop of green food coloring for added flair.
Combining
- Pour the entire 6 cups of Rice Krispies into the bowl with the red marshmallow mixture. Stir until all the cereal is coated evenly with the marshmallow.
Shaping
- While the mixture is still warm but manageable, take small handfuls and shape them into brain-like halves. Slightly flatten the top and bottom to give a more realistic brain appearance.
Setting
- Place the shaped brains onto the prepared wax paper. Allow them to cool for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Decorating
- After the brains have set, use candy eyeballs to decorate them as you like. If you wish, drizzle melted chocolate over the top for a spooky effect.
Notes
For best results, avoid overheating the marshmallows and ensure that your hands are slightly buttered or sprayed to avoid sticky fingers while shaping.
