How to Make Marshmallow Rice Bubbles Halloween Brains

Ingredients:

• 85 g unsalted butter
• 6 cups regular marshmallows
• 4 cups Rice Bubbles (Krispies)
• ½ tsp salt
• Red food coloring

Directions:

1. Prepare the Bain-Marie: Start by putting 1/2 cup of water into a small pot and bring it to a boil. Then, place a large heatproof bowl over the pot of boiling water.

2. Melt the Ingredients: Add the butter and marshmallows into the heatproof bowl. Whisk the ingredients continually until they form a smooth paste. This may take around 2-4 minutes.

3. Add Color and Salt: Once smooth, carefully remove the bowl from the heat using oven mitts or a tea towel. Stir in the salt and add a drop or more of red food coloring, whisking to combine.

4. Combine with Rice Bubbles: In a large mixing bowl, place the Rice Bubbles. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Bubbles and mix thoroughly to ensure they are all coated.

5. Shape the Brains: Oil your hands to prevent sticking, and shape the mixture into ovals to form brain shapes. Use a butter knife to create a dent in the middle of each oval.

6. Add the Veins: Dip a toothpick into the red food coloring and draw veins on the brains to make them look more realistic.

7. Store: Keep your spooky treats in an airtight container for up to a week.
