Frankenstein Halloween Rice Krispie Treats

Directions

1. Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with butter.
2. In a large pot over low to medium heat, melt the butter.
3. Add the mini marshmallows and keep stirring until they're fully melted and smooth.
4. Pour in the rice krispie cereal and use a spatula to mix until every piece is coated with marshmallow.
5. Transfer the mixture to the buttered dish and press it evenly to fill the dish and flatten the top.
6. Let the treats rest for half an hour to firm up.
7. Once cooled, take the treats out of the dish and slice them into rectangles of different sizes.
8. Set up a double boiler by placing a bowl over a small pot of simmering water and add the green candy melts.
9. Stir until completely melted. If the coating seems too thick, mix in a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to thin it.
10. Dip the top of each treat into the green candy melts, then immediately sprinkle with black jimmies.
11. Stick two royal icing eyes onto each treat.
12. In a small bowl, microwave the black candy melts in 10-15 second bursts until melted.
13. Transfer the melted black candy into a piping bag and draw stitch lines on the treats.
14. Wait for the candy to fully harden before storing or packing.
