Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treat Pumpkins are perfect for any fall gathering or cute Halloween treat. Ready in only 20 minutes, everyone will love them!
In a medium saucepan melt the butter and peanut butter over medium heat for 3 minutes stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the marshmallows and food coloring. Continue to stir until marshmallows are melted and sticky like glue. A wooden spoon is important here because the mixture will stick less to this surface and not get hot.
Remove from the heat and stir in the Rice Krispie cereal until fully coated.
Although I highly recommend wearing powder-free latex gloves, you can also use wax paper to mold the warm mixture into round balls.
Push a tootsie roll into the top for the stem. The heat from the pumpkin will create a malleable material so the tootsie roll can be gently bent. Ridges in the tootsie roll create a natural and woody effect.
Allow pumpkins to cool completely, then decorate with frosting.
