My mom and I saw these cute guys on the front of an All You magazine, and you know we love to make cute stuff.
This was from a Halloween issue, and we did make them this past fall, but somehow we never blogged about it!
You’ll need a pan of Rice Krispy treats, which are easy to make. The original recipe called for prepackaged treats, but those don’t taste as good.
You’ll also need mini M&Ms, mini Oreos, and chocolate chips (for coating the treats).
To make these, cut the Rice Krispy treats into small rectangles. Then melt 10 oz. of chocolate chips. We did this in the microwave.
Dip the treats into the chocolate, and place them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
To be honest, we had a pretty hard time doing this. Our chocolate was a little thick, even though it was all melted, so we ended up having to spread it over the treats, which made them not as smooth as the ones in the picture.
We even tried some chocolate melts, but those didn’t work any better…in fact, they were thicker than the chocolate chips!
(If you have any tips to help us with this, please let us know!)
Once the treats are covered in chocolate, place M&Ms all over. For eyes, split an oreo and use an M&M for the pupil.
You can do one eye or two, and you can use colored M&Ms for pupils if you want. They look a little creepy when you do that, though.
Use pink frosting to pipe on a mouth (we used a small batch of buttercream).
Isn’t he cute??
Even though our chocolate didn’t work properly, these were still fun to make and I think they turned out pretty cute.
And of course, they were tasty.
