Equipment

  • large pot
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • parchment paper
  • spatula or spoon
  • Microwave or double boiler
  • Small bowl (for chocolate)

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups crisp rice cereal
  • 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Green gel food coloring (5–6 drops or to desired color)
  • 1 cup dairy-free dark chocolate chips
  • Candy eyeballs
  • Black gel icing (for scars and smiles)
  • Mini pretzel sticks (for neck bolts)
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil or coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
  • Parchment paper (for lining pan)

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x13-inch dish with parchment paper. Lightly grease with oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in green gel food coloring until evenly combined.
  • Pour in the rice cereal and stir until completely coated.
  • Spread the mixture into the prepared pan. Use parchment or greased spatula to press evenly. Let cool for 20 minutes.
  • Cut into rectangles to form Frankenstein heads.
  • Melt chocolate chips (add oil if needed) in microwave or double boiler. Dip tops of each bar for the “hair.”
  • Stick on candy eyeballs just below the hairline.
  • Use black gel icing to draw mouth, stitches, and eyebrows.
  • Insert mini pretzel sticks into sides for bolts.

Notes

To make these gluten-free, use certified gluten-free crisp rice cereal and marshmallows. Add personality by decorating with different expressions or turning them into other monsters with colored icing. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
