Jack-o'-Lantern Pops

As Clara Coulston of Washington Court House, Ohio notes, “Your little ghouls and goblins faces will light up when you surprise them with these sweet, smiling pumpkins.” The crispy pops are ideal for school parties.

6 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

1 package (10-1/2 ounces) miniature marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
Red and yellow gel food coloring
6 cups crisp rice cereal
Wooden pop sticks
Miniature chocolate, green and yellow Tootsie Roll Midgees, as desired
Miniature green apple Air Head candies
Black decorating gel, optional

Directions

In a large saucepan, combine marshmallows, butter and salt. Cook and
stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from heat; tint
orange with red and yellow food coloring. Stir in cereal.
With buttered hands, shape mixture into six even or various sized
pumpkins. Insert a wooden pop stick into each ball.
Cut chocolate Tootsie Rolls crosswise in half; press one half into
the top of each for stems. Cut green Air Heads into thin strips;
roll between hands to form vines. Press vines into pumpkins near
stem. For leaves, roll out green Tootsie Rolls on waxed paper to
1/8-in. thickness. With kitchen scissors, cut out leaves and attach
to vines.
Add Jack-o'-lantern faces using decorating gel or additional Tootsie
