Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- Red food coloring (optional)
- Red gel frosting (for decorating)
- Cooking spray or butter (for hands)
Instructions
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
- Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- If desired, add a few drops of red food coloring to tint the mixture pinkish.
- Remove from heat and stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until fully coated.
- Let cool slightly, then grease your hands with cooking spray or butter.
- Scoop about 1/2 cup of the mixture and shape it into a rough brain shape.
- Use your fingers or a spoon to create a brain-like texture and crease down the middle.
- Place each brain on a parchment-lined tray.
- Drizzle red gel frosting over the tops to resemble veins or blood.
- Let set for at least 30 minutes before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use strawberry syrup instead of gel for a bloodier effect.
- Add mini marshmallows or white chocolate chunks inside for “brain matter.”
- Use green food coloring for a zombie-style variation.
- Shape around a small chocolate truffle for a gooey surprise center.
