Halloween Cereal Bars

Writer: Susanne DanerSusanne Daner

Some fun treats for Halloween!


Makes 12 bars

 

Ingredients


3 Tbsp butter

1 (10.5-oz.) package or miniature marshmallows

5 cups Cheerios

1 cup “Ghoul’s Mix” M&Ms, divided

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1 tsp canola oil

Black food coloring (optional)

1 pkg candy eye sprinkles


Directions


Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat. Add the Cheerios and 3/4 cup of the M&Ms, and gently stir to combine. Some of the M&Ms might crack and melt, but that’s ok. Transfer to a greased 9x13-inch baking pan, and gently press to an even layer with a greased spatula. Set aside.


In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring in between each interval until just melted. Stir in a few drop of black food coloring, if using. Add the tsp of canola oil and and microwave another 10 seconds. Stir, and transfer to a small resealable plastic bag. Snip one corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate all over the cereal bars. Working quickly before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the remaining M&Ms on top, along with the candy eyes.


Refrigerate to set, then cut into squares and serve.


*Tip: Score the cereal bars before drizzling the chocolate on top so that you can see where to avoid placing the candy eyeballs.
