Infused Rice Krispie pumpkins
What you’ll need:
- 1/4 cup canna-butter
- 1 bag large marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Orange or red & yellow food coloring
- Mini Rolos
- Green M&M’s
Instructions:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined with the butter.
- Remove from the heat. Add several drops of yellow food coloring, mix it together, then add red food coloring one drop at a time, mixing as you go. Add orange or red/yellow drops until you reach your desired color. Mix well.
- Add the Rice Krispies and stir to combine.
- Coat both sides of your hands with a generous amount of cooking oil or butter, and roll the Rice Krispie mixture into small balls. Set on parchment paper. Add oil/butter to your hands after each ball.
- While the balls are still warm, gently press a Mini Rolo into the top of each pumpkin for the stem and add a green M&M beside it as the leaf. Voilà!
Tombstone brownies
What you’ll need:
- Your favorite brownie mix, prepared Substitute vegetable oil for canna-oil
- 12 Milano cookies
- 12 candy pumpkins
- Green decorating frosting
- Black decorating gel
Instructions:
- Line an 8” baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a little bit of overhang on the sides so that you’ll be able to easily pull the brownies out of the pan.
- Pour brownie batter into the prepared pan and smooth it into an even layer. Bake according to recipe instructions.
- Allow brownies to cool completely. Pull up on the parchment paper and transfer the brownies to a flat surface.
- Cut the brownies into rectangles. (I cut mine 4 x 3 to make 12 rectangle brownies).
- Mix all of the frosting ingredients together in a bowl. Mix for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. (Add a little more powdered sugar to make the mixture thicker, or another dash of milk to make it thinner, as needed.)
- Mix in a few drops of green food coloring. Set aside.
- Use the black (edible) gel pen to write the letter R-I-P on the top of each milano cookie. I also cut the very bottom edge off of my cookies to make the “headstones” a little shorter, but you don’t have to.
- Press each cookie into the top of the brownie, as if it were a grave headstone.
- Spoon a a little green frosting onto the bottoms of the candy pumpkins and add them near the cookie.
