Red Velvet “Raw Meat” Rice Krispies Halloween Treat

INGREDIENTS:

10.5 oz mini marshmallows
3 Tablespoons butter
½ teaspoons
¾ cup red velvet cake mix
6 cups crispy rice cereal
½ teaspoon red food coloring optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP ONE: First, in a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter with the marshmallows. Once melted, add in the vanilla extract and red velvet cake mix and stir together.
Alternatively, you can melt the butter and marshmallows in a large, heat safe microwave safe bowl and proceed from there.
STEP TWO: Once fully melted and combined, pour in the rice krispies and stir to evenly coat.
STEP THREE: Finally, portion out the “meat” onto your trays – either a large lump to look like hamburger meat, or you can patty them up. Or shape them into a “brain”. Use your spooky imagination.

NOTES
You can find foam trays in the paper products section of most markets or order them from Amazon.
Food coloring is optional. If you don’t have red velvet cake mix & want to use ALL food coloring, do so with caution, you may get a weird flavor.
Store leftovers covered at room temperature.
