Have a Spooktacular Halloween with Rice Krispies #rkhalloween #kelloggers #recipe

I'm not the greatest cook or the greatest baker, but when a black cat cookie cutter arrived in the mail from Kellogg's Canada I got really excited. (Mostly because Booyah is a black cat.)

Looking for some delicious treats that older kids can help create? Check out all the awesome ideas on the Rice Krispies website (scroll to "Halloween").

I attempted to make the Spooktacular Butterscotch Pops (I write attempted because I did not make them pops). Would you like to make them? Here's the recipe.

Kellogg's Rice Krispies Spooktacular Butterscotch Pops

Ingredients

1/4 cup of butter or margarine
1 package of marshmallows
1/2 tsp of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of butterscotch flavour instant pudding mix
6 cups of Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal

Directions

1. In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Stir in pudding mix.
2. Add Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal. Sit until well coated.
3. Using a butters spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13x9x2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Use cookie cutter to cut into shapes, insert lollipop sticks and decorate!

Microwave Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butter and marshmallows on HIGH for 3 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until smooth. Add pudding mix, stirring until smooth. Follow steps 2 and 3 above. Microwave cooking times may vary.

I had some trouble using the cookie cutters (specifically the black cat's tail) so make sure you really do wait until it's cool (my lack of patience always faults me in baking situations).
