Spooky Halloween Recipe for Kids: Rice Krispie Ghosts

Posted by Maddalena Delli Oct 14, 2008

Create some spooky treats for your Hallowe’en party with Kellogg's Rice Krispie Ghosts! To celebrate Halloween, Kellogg's has created a spooky new recipe for parents and children to try together. Rice Krispie Ghosts are perfect for Halloween party treats.

• ½ tbsp butter or margarine
• 110g / 4 oz white marshmallows
• 90g / 3 oz Kellogg’s Rice Krispies
• 50g / 2 oz desiccated coconut
• Decoration (dried cranberries, currants or blueberries or Kellogg’s Honey Loops for eyes and mouth)

Method (15 – 20 minutes preparation time plus extra for decoration)

1. Melt butter or margarine in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat
2. Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies (or Ricicles) and stir until well coated
3. While mixture is still warm, shape with wet or greased hands into any desired design (see craft suggestions) and roll or press coconut onto surface
4. Attach decorations of choice using a little melted chocolate or prepared icing. If cut, most dried fruit will stick without needing to do this
5. To make flat ghost shapes, flatten mixture onto a greased 33 x 20cm swiss roll baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper, using a greased spatula. The quantity will fill half the tray
6. Depending on required size, cut mixture into squares or rectangles prior to cutting out ghost shapes which can then be bent into required shapes
7. To make 3D ghosts, cone shapes can be made by cutting out triangles and folding round.
