Munch-A-Roaches
Halloween Fun!
1 15oz. can tropical fruit salad, drained, finely chopped
3 Tbls. butter or margarine
1 10 1/2oz. package mini-marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal
48 currants or dried blueberries
10 licorice laces, any color

 

A scarier take on traditional Rice Krispies Treats, Munch-A-Roaches are perfect for packed Halloween lunches or after-school snacks.

Sandwich the fruit between 2 layers of paper towel and blot away as much moisture as possible.

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in fruit and crisped rice cereal until cereal is uniformly moistened. Scrape onto a sheet pan and cool.

Wet your hands and form cereal mixture into 24 tablespoon size, egg-shaped balls (bodies) and 24, 1 1/2 teaspoon-size balls (heads).

Stick the heads onto the bodies and decorate with currants or dried blueberries for eyes, and small pieces of licorice for legs and antenna.
