Somebody asked if I was pregnant yesterday. Spoiler alert, I’M NOT. Yes, it was a man, and no, I did not kill him. He’s still out there. Beware, women everywhere who live somewhere in that state between their lithe, former selves, and that awkward stage where you could either be in the early stages of pregnancy or just coming off a weekend of tacos and pizza. You could be next.
Meanwhile, I’m over here doing 1,000 jumping jacks because there’s no way in heck I’m going to stop eating tacos and pizza. Or Halloween Rice Krispie treats, for that matter. You can’t stop the Halloween.
How to make Halloween Rice Krispie Treats (Candy Corn shape!)
One time when I was a kid, my Sunday School teacher brought Rice Krispie treats to class. They were so tough that I could hardly bite through it, and I ended up loosing a tooth (it was already loose, but still).
Ever since then I have been extremely wary of too-hard-Rice-Krispie-Treats for fear of dental mishap. This means that any Rice Krispie Treats that come out of my kitchen are, as a direct result of previous trauma, super soft and over the top marshmallow-y.
I’m warning you. They are sticky. This is not an apology. It’s easy to make these Candy Corn Rice Krispies Treats; all you need are a couple of round cake pans. You don’t even need the stove, just a few bowls to stir the different colors in. It seriously takes like 10 minutes.
I started with the white center of the candy corn first, but you could do the yellow part on the outer edge first if you wanted.
The kids absolutely LOVED these Halloween Rice Krispie Treats. Yes, even Truman, who doesn’t even like ice cream. (He also doesn’t like cake, brownies, or pie. I have no idea what went wrong with our son. I’m a food blogger with a very strong dessert game, for heavens sake. We’re hoping to fix him soon.)
I brought these easy Halloween treats to school pick up on the day that I made them, and was offering them out to the general mayhem of kids and adults trying to find each other and get home. A man and his daughter passed by and I offered one to both of them. The girl took one, the dude said no thanks. Several minutes later, after passing out most of the rest of the treats, the guy came back, said he had changed his mind, and ruefully took the last one. No judgment here, friend. Just make sure you don’t eat too many, or your friends might think you’re pregnant.
