  • green food coloring
  • candy eyes
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate for mouths, optional

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Melt butter, add marshmallows, and stir until melted.
  2. Step 2: Stir in green food coloring until evenly tinted.

  4. Step 3: Fold in the cereal until fully coated.
  5. Step 4: Press into a greased pan and let cool slightly.

  9. Step 7: Dip in melted chocolate for a mouth, if desired.

Notes

Grease your hands or a spatula lightly before pressing the mixture into the pan to prevent sticking.
