Eyeball Rice Krispies Ingredients
To get started, just gather up the list of ingredients below.
- 1 cup of green candy melts
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cups of miniature marshmallows (or regular marshmallows will work, too)
- 3 cups of rice cereal
- 1 teaspoon of coconut oil
- 2 ounces of black rolling fondant
- 3 – 4 ounces white rolling fondant
Directions
Start by lining your baking sheet with wax paper. You don’t want these to stick! Once done, set aside.
Next, you’re going to want to melt the butter over medium heat on the stove.
One the butter is good and melted, take and add in those delicious marshmallows and stir and it’s all melted together with no lumps. Take off that heat at that point.
This is when you add the rice cereal and make certain to mix it well to combine.
Once it’s cooled a tad bit, take and start rolling the mixture into circles. Then put them on the baking sheet.
Let them sit for about 30 minutes to get firm.
While they’re resting, it’s time to work on the fondant and you’re going to want to use a rolling pin and roll out the colors individually about 1/4 inch thick.
Use a #12 piping tip and put out 12 circles in each fondant color. The white fondant circle should be bigger than the black fondant.
Put the black circle on the white one.
Put coconut oil and candy melts in a bowl and microwave for 30-second increments, stirring each time until it’s melted.
Put the melted candy into the piping bag and cut a slit at the end.
Pipe out a circle on the treat and put an eye on top.
Let sit, and enjoy!
Trust me, these are so good and delicious. They’re going to be a new tradition in your house once Halloween rolls around!
If you want to make them ahead of time, just be certain to store them in a ziplock bag so they stay as fresh as possible.
