Here are some Rice Krispie Treat pumpkins I made for Halloween. Follow the directions for Rice Krispie Treats then shape them into circles while they are still warm, I made them a little smaller so I got 15 instead of 12. I put tootsie rolls in the top for the stem and colored it green with frosting, then add any kind of sprinkles you want to decorate them with. All done and the kids loved them! If you make these for Halloween or anything else you would love to share please leave a comment about what you made and how it went, thanks.
