Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats

Halloween is a time for fun treats and I wanted to share this.  My brother made these when we were young and I thought he was the coolest brother ever!!!  We would pour them onto a plate to cool and devour them.  They are even more fun to make fun shapes with like black cats, bats or witches hats.  Be creative and have fun!!

I just used the original Rice Krispie Treat recipe from the box.

3 Tbs butter

1 pkg fresh marshmallows (about 40 or 4 cups mini marshmallows)

6 cups Cocoa Rice Krispies

Butter a 13 X 9 inch pan.

Melt butter in large pot then add marshmallows and stir.  When they are completely melted remove from heat and add cocoa rice kirspies.  Stir until they are coated and then press into pan with a buttered spatula or wax paper. 

Let cool and then cut out your favorite shapes.  (Shape witches hats while they are warm and then let cool)

Creepy Crawly Dirt Pudding

With Halloween just around the corner I wanted to do something fun that my son would enjoy.  When I went to the grocery store I found some fun gummy worms and I knew exactly what to make.  I have had "dirt cake" several different ways, but I kept mine simple with what I knew my boys would like. 

1 box chocolate pudding

1 3/4 - 2 cup milk 

8-10 oreos (remove filling and crush)

gummy worms

I mixed the pudding according to the instructions on the box (regular or pie recipe will work).  Then I poured it into 2 separate containers for my husband and son.  Feel free to use one large bowl if you desire.

Let the pudding set up in the frige for a few minutes, and then top with your crushed oreos. 

 And decorate with gummy worms.  I found the Halloween colored ones, but you could use the bright colored ones too. 

Your kids will love these!!
