Quick & Easy Halloween Treats

Filed Under: Uncategorized

Looking for a last minute Halloween treat idea? Here are two! Thank you, Pebbles Cereal, for sharing this guest post with my readers!

Cocoa Pebbles Spiders

Ingredients

1 pkg. (13 oz.) Cocoa Pebbles cereal (6 cups)

1 bag (10.5 oz) of miniature marshmallows

¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine

1 bag mini pretzel sticks

1 black edible ink marker

1 pkg. Fruit candy Rolls

Instructions

Spray a 9×9 pan lightly with cooking spray; set aside.

Melt butter over low heat in large saucepan on stove. When butter is melted, stir in one bag of mini marshmallows until melted. Remove from heat and stir in 6 cups of Cocoa Pebbles. Press evenly into prepared pan. Let cool for 15 minutes.

Use a 2″ round cookie cutter to cut the Cocoa Pebbles treats into circles. Alternatively, use a glass pint-sized cup to cut treats into circles.

Stick four mini pretzel sticks into each side of the crispy treat for the spider’s legs.

Using a rolling pin, flatten mini marshmallows and stick two on each crispy treat for the spider’s eyes. Draw eyes on the whites of the mini marshmallows using the black edible ink marker.

Carefully cut triangle shaped fangs out of vanilla flavored Tootsie Rolls using a sharp knife. Stick two on each crispy treat.

Pebbles Cereal Ghost Treats

Ingredients

1 pkg. (13 oz.) Fruity or Cocoa Pebbles Cereal (about 6 cups)

1 pkg. (10.5 oz) bag of miniature marshmallows

¼ cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine

1 pkg. white melting chocolate, for coating treats

1 black edible ink marker

1 pkg. lollipop sticks

Instructions

Spray a 9×9 pan lightly with cooking spray; set aside.

Melt butter over low heat in large saucepan on stove. When butter is melted, stir in one bag of mini marshmallows until melted. Remove from heat and stir in 6 cups of Pebbles cereal. Press evenly into prepared pan. Let cool completely.

Use a ghost shaped cookie cutter to cut the crispy treats into shapes. Melt the white candy coating over a double boiler, or according to package directions, and stir until the candy is melted. Using a spoon, stir the chocolate until smooth.

 

To coat the ghosts, place one ghost onto the center of a large fork. Hold the ghost over the bowl of melted candy coating, and using a small ladle, spoon the melted candy coating evenly over the top of the ghost allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Once the excess chocolate has stopped dripping, transfer the ghost to a sheet of waxed paper and gently slide him off the fork. Alternatively, use a spoon to spread a coating of melted chocolate onto the tops and sides of the cut out Pebbles ghost treats. Allow to cool completely.

 

Using the black edible ink marker, draw spooky eyes and mouths on each treat.

Insert one lollipop stick into the bottom of each ghost treat.
