Boo! Now here’s something different – a ghost that goes ‘crunch’ in the night. Making these yummy, ghoulish goodies is great family fun, and their crispy, crunchy texture goes down a treat.
Takes 15-20 minutes preparation time plus extra for decoration. Makes about 8 ghosts.
Ingredients
½ tbsp butter or margarine
110g white marshmallows
90g Kellogg’s Rice Krispies
50g desiccated coconut
Decoration
Dried cranberries
Currants or blueberries or Kellogg’s Honey Loops for eyes and mouth
Method
1. Melt butter or margarine in a large saucepan over a low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add Kellogg’s Rice Krispies and stir until well coated.
3. While mixture is still warm, shape with greased hands into any desired design and roll or press coconut onto surface.
4. Attach decorations of choice using a little melted chocolate or prepared icing. If cut, most dried fruit will stick without needing to do this.
5. To make flat ghost shapes, flatten mixture onto a greased 33 x 20cm swiss roll baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper, using a greased spatula. The quantity will fill half the tray.
6. Depending on required size, cut mixture into squares or rectangles prior to cutting out ghost shapes which can then be bent into required shapes.
7. To make 3D ghosts, cone shapes can be made by cutting out triangles and folding round.
Tips: Look in books, magazines and comics for design ideas.
