Ingredients
Rice Cereal Crispy Treats
- Rice Cereal Crispy Treats mix (prepared following your favorite recipe)
Food Coloring and Icing
- Leaf Green Icing Color, 1 oz.
- Lemon Yellow Icing Color, 1 oz.
- Black Icing Color, 1 oz.
- Red-Red Icing Color, 1 oz.
- Christmas Red Icing Color, 1 oz.
- White Decorator Icing, 4.5 lb.
Instructions
- Prepare cereal treats: Prepare the crispy cereal treat base by following your chosen recipe instructions. Before adding the cereal, tint the sugary melt mixture green by combining Leaf Green and Lemon Yellow icing colors to achieve the desired shade. Press the mixture firmly into a prepared pan to set, then allow it to cool completely before unmolding.
- Cut treats: Once set, use a ruler to cut the cereal treats into neat 2 inch by 3 inch rectangles to standardize the size for decorating.
- Tint icing: Prepare your decorating icings by mixing Leaf Green and Lemon Yellow to produce your green icing color. Combine Red-Red and Christmas Red to form the red icing color. Additionally, tint 1 cup of icing black and 1/8 cup of icing red using the respective black and red icing colors. Leave the remaining icing white to use as is.
- Decorate treats: Fill decorating bags with the prepared colored icings: black icing with a coupler, white icing with tip 5, and red icing with tip 3. Use black icing with tip 5 to pipe Frankenstein’s hair and facial details. Use white icing with tip 5 to pipe the mouth and the whites of the eyes. For the heart-shaped eyes, pipe with red icing tip 3. Finally, pipe the teeth with black icing using tip 3.
Notes
- Use gel food colorings for vibrant, intense colors without altering icing consistency.
- Ensure cereal treats are fully cooled before cutting to prevent breaking or crumbling.
- Use piping tips as specified for best detail on decorations.
- Store decorated treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- Adjust colors by mixing small amounts first to get the perfect Halloween-themed hues.
