Spooky Spider Treats Recipe

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, heat your marshmallows and butter for 1-2 minutes in a microwave. (You can do this on a stove by heating the butter in a pot and adding the marshmallows and stirring)
2. Stir well until the marshmallow and butter are mixed together.
3. Add in several drops of food coloring; mix well.
4. Mix in your crispy rice cereal with a long metal spoon until the cereal is coated.
5. Layout a piece of parchment paper and grease the outside of two sandwich bags with butter.
6. Place your hands in the sandwich bags and use the sandwich bags covered hands to form the sticky crispy rice mixture into small balls slightly larger than golf balls.
7. Slightly flatten the balls onto the parchment paper by pressing them with the bottom of a bowl.
8. Use a pair of clean kitchen scissors to cut the black licorice into thirds and place 3 cut pieces into each side of the flattened crispy rice balls.
9. While the marshmallows are still sticky, place 2 eyes onto the top of each crispy rice spider.
10. Allow to dry.
