The Halloween season is here, and what screams Halloween more than pumpkins?

My boyfriend hates pumpkins and I'm impartial, so it's safe to say that pumpkin doesn't have a place in our home. But, that doesn't mean I can't get into the Halloween mood. Today, I present Pumpkin Shaped Rice Crispy Treats. Made with 4 ingredients, these pumpkins are a feast for the eyes and for the bellies!



You're going to need:

1) 3 tbs of butter
2) A bag of marshmallows
3) Crisped rice cereal
4) Food Coloring
5) (Optional) Pumpkin flavoring.

You can add pumpkin flavoring, here, as well.
