DIY: Rice Krispie Treat Pumpkins

Each week at Cubbies, one of the little cuties is responsible for bringing back the cookie bucket full of, well, cookies for snack time.  This week was Sawyer’s week.  (Don’t tell me you’re surprised that I signed up for a fun week…)  You don’t have to bring cookies so we decided to make Rice Krispie treat pumpkins and they turned out really cute!

You’ll need:

  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 package of marshmallows
  • 5 cups of Rice Krispie cereal
  • orange food coloring
  • 15 mini Tootsie Rolls

1.) Melt down your butter and marshmallows over medium heat.

5.) Make a well and insert the Tootsie Roll in top.  We curved ours for a little character.
