Gather Your Ingredients
Gather all of your supplies and ingredients on the list. This makes it a little easier instead of running around to find the ingredients.
Grease Your Pan, Add Butter and Marshmallows, and Microwave
First, grease your pan or line it with parchment paper. Next, in a large microwave safe bowl add, 6 tablespoons of butter, and the whole bag of marshmallows other than 10-15 for later. Now, microwave the marshmallows and butter in 30 second intervals, string each time until they have nearly doubled in size.
Add Vanilla and Food Dye
Add 1/4 teaspoons of vanilla extract and as much food dye you need to get the color you want.
Add Rice Krispies and Put Them in the Pan
Add 4-5 cups of rice krispies cereal, so start with 4 cups and it is still too much marshmallow then add more. Next, place your Rice Krispies treats in a pan, you can flatten it with a piece of parchment paper.
Let Them Set and Cut
Let them set. When they are set, cut them into squares to whatever size you want.
Dip Your Treats
Melt your chocolate and dip the top part of your squares in the melted chocolate. When you are dipping them you can set them to dry on a piece of parchment paper.
Decorating
First, you can put melted chocolate in a piping bag or in a ziplock. Then, cut the tiniest amount at the bottom of your piping bag or ziplock. Now remember those marshmallows we saved well, I made candy eyeballs with them by cutting the marshmallows in half and adding a dot of chocolate. You can also just buy candy eyeballs at the store. On a piece on parchment paper I used my melted chocolate to make little bolts to go on the side of the Frankensteins. Now, after the eyeballs are set I added a dot of chocolate to the back of them and attached them the the treats. I then used the chocolate to draw on a eyebrow above the eyes and drew on a mouth. Once the bolts were dry I added them using chocolate to the sides of the Frankensteins. And there you have it, your delicious Rice crispy Frankenstein treats are all complete!
