Ingredients

Instructions

  • Generously grease a 11x7 inch tray with some butter/margarine. Set aside.
  • In a large pan, melt your butter/margarine over a low heat.
  • Add your marshmallows to your pan and allow them to melt, stirring occasionally to avoid them burning and sticking.
  • Once your marshmallows have completely melted, add your food colouring and mix through. Remove from the heat and add your rice crispies.
  • Mix in your rice crispies as quick as possible, before transferring the mixture to your prepared tray. The mixture will be sticky, so work fast. Using the back of a spoon, press the mixture into the tin - greasing the spoon in a little excess butter/margarine will also stop the mixture sticking.
  • Allow your rice crispy squares to set for a couple of hours. Once set, cut to your desired size. Have a sheet of greaseproof paper to hand for decorating also.
  • Melt the chocolate over a bain marie, or in short bursts in a microwave. Dip your rice crispy squares into the chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off, before transferring to your piece of greaseproof paper.
  • Using a little dab of chocolate, stick the edible eyes onto your rice crispy square. Add a mouth and any additional features by drizzling a little chocolate with a small spoon or a cocktail stick.
  • Allow the chocolate to set completely before enjoying.
