I LOVE pumpkins! Have I said that before? I say it so often I feel it may be my motto. The Starks have, "Winter is Coming." The Lannisters have, " A Lannister Always Pays His Debts." And I have, "I love Pumpkins!"
And not just their flavor (though, that may be more spice then vegetation...) I do so love the look of them. I've often thought of growing my own pumpkin patch...Sadly I have a rather black thumb in all things that grow from the ground.
In any case, I charged myself with throwing a Halloween party this year. Part a celebration of candy and costumes and part a celebration of my best friends recent nuptials.
Clella made cupcakes with bats and ghost, and I made potato salad, cutting olives into spiders (CREEPY) I also made Pumpkin Balls...Rice Crispy Treats that look like Pumpkins.
Ingredients:
- 1 Stick of Butter
- 1 Bag of Marsh-mellows
- 1 Bag of Rice Crispy Cereal
- A TBS of Orange Food Coloring
- 1 Bag of Mini Reese's Cups
- Cooking Oil
Rice Crispy Treats are ridiculously easy to make for how num num they are.
1.Melt butter in Pan with food coloring
2.Toss in all Marsh-mellows and stir until creamy
3.Toss in all Rice Crispies and stir until all cereal is coated
4. Let it sit and cool down a small bit while you put on latex gloves and coat your hands with cooking oil. Then make very compact balls.
See my balls
5. Then you will want to warm a plate in the microwave. Once it's good and hot set your Mini Reese's on it to melt their bottoms a bit.
6. Put those Reese's on those balls and done! ...But, you'll want to let them chill for a good hour or they'll just fall apart as you eat them.
See, so damn easy and so damn YUM!
And now, look at the centerpiece I made for the party.
That's a Styrofoam Pumpkin, pained with glue and smothered in black glitter, and than violated with many feathers. Cute. huh?
