*Love and Special Hugs* for the little ones

This is an easy way to make a Jack-o-lantern you can eat.
1 Stick Butter
2 (10 oz). Packages Marshmallows
12 C. Rice Crispy Cereal
1 tsp. Yellow Food Colour
1/4 tsp. Red Food Colour
Green Decorating Icing in Tube
Black Decorating Icing in Tube
Decorating Tips
12 C. Bowl (not plastic)
Melt butter on low heat and add marshmallows.
Stir marshmallows frequently.
When marshmallows have dissolved, add food colours and mix well.
When the marshmallow mixture is uniform in orange colour add cereal and stir and mix until rice crispies are completely coated.
Pour mixture into the bowl that has been well sprayed with a non-stick spray.
Carefully press down cereal (spray the spoon or your hands when pressing the cereal, this helps so the cereal will not stick).
Place into the refrigerator until completely chilled and firm.
When the pumpkin is chilled remove from refrigerator and invert onto a plate.
Remove bowl and decorate with leaves and stem.
A great jack o lantern smile will be the finishing touch.
The Jack-o-lantern makes a great centrepiece and a delightful treat.
