With the release of Monsters University this past summer the buzz in our house is still swirling around with sounds of MU, Sulley and Mike Wazowski. I personally like Mike the best….his one eye thing makes me giggle. I am not taking credit for the idea of these treats as I saw them on the back of a Rice Krispie Cereal box this past summer but I wanted to be sure to try them out and share them with those of you who didn’t get to see them, so this is sort of a Pinned it, Did it and Tasty Treat post wrapped into one.
Make your Rice Krispie treats as directed on the bag of Mallows or the box.
1 bag of large Marshmallows
3 T butter
6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
Melt the butter and mallows together and add a few drops of lime green coloring. If you add it to the cereal instead it will not cover all of it and you will be left with a less than ideal look. Now the fun part, pick up a piece of softened butter in your hands and rub it all around like you are putting on hand lotion. Pick up a small amount of the Krispie Treats and form them into a ball.
Allow them to completely cool before you add popsicle sticks (this is totally optional and I personally like them better without). Use a little bit of white frosting to make two dots on the top of the head for his horns, another option would be to cut a white jelly bean in half and use that. Add a circle of frosting to the center of your ball (this will be the eye). Allow the frosting to set up and add a single chocolate chip to the center of the eye to give the eye effect….and enjoy!
