Candy Corn Krispy Treats

If your family is anything like mine there's half of you that love candy corn, and the other half absolutely hates them. I came up with a fun creative way for everyone to be able to enjoy a candy corn looking treat.

What you will need:

1 bag of mini marshmallows

2-3 Tbs butter

4-5 cups of  Rice Krispies

Orange food coloring

White chocolate chips

Milk chocolate chocolate chips

Steps:

1. Melt butter in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat, and add in all of your marshmallows. Stir often until the marshmallows are melted and smooth.

2. After marshmallows are smooth add in your orange food coloring until it is your desired shade of orange.

3. Measure out your rice krispies into a bowl, and set aside until your marshmallow mixture is done.

4. Once completely melted and smooth poor colored marshmallows over the measured rice krispies and mix until evenly coated.

5. Spray a pan with nonstick spray and dump rice krispy mixture into pan and spread out. (Tip: Spray your hands with nonstick spray and use your hands to evenly distribute the rice krispy mixture.)

6. Flip rice krispy treats out of the pan and cut into triangles that resemble the shape of candy corn.

7. Place both kinds of chocolate chips in respective bowls and melt. Then dip your krispy treats in the chocolate. The small point goes in white chocolate, and the milk  chocolate goes on the larger flat end. (Tip: Dip in about a half inch.

8. Place on parchment lined pan and refrigerate until chocolate sets.

Enjoy!

This is a great way to enjoy a festive fall treat. I hope you guys have fun trying this recipe.

Chocolate Chip Cookie in a Mug

This is my favorite treat to have after a long day of school and practice along with a glass of milk. It’s so easy to make and it is much easier to make than a whole pan of cookies!

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp butter
• 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp packed brown sugar
• 3 drops vanilla extract
• 1 egg yolk
• ¼ cup flour
• ⅛ tsp baking soda
• ¼ cup of chocolate chips

Step 1: In a mug of your choice, add butter and soften in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Using a different size and/ or type of cups may affect your cooking time.

 

Step 2: Add sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg yolk; mix

together with a fork.

Step 3: Stir in flour and baking soda.  Texture should be consistency you would expect for cookie dough. Stir in the chocolate chips.

Step 4: Place in microwave and cook at high heat for 40-60 seconds. Start checking at 40 seconds. Do not go over 60 seconds or the cookie will burn and get rock hard!  It is best served warm.

Enjoy!
