Mice Krispy Treats

Mice Krispy Treats

My little girl, and I decided to come up with a fun post Halloween recipe to creep everyone out, We had a box of of Cocoa Pebbles we needed to get through, and just so happened to of had a bag of marshmallows hiding away in the back of one of my cabinets. So we knew we were making some cereal treats!

At first we were going to mold them into something to do with poo, but we had just put together a nice poo filled Kitty Litter Cake (see recipe) the week before. The brown color of the chocolate cereal reminded me of mice, and I realized how easily you could mold their shape. And so our Mice Krispy Treats were born!

We really enjoyed ourselves putting this one together! Adding all of the little features kind of gives each of them their own personality. These are a tasty addition to our recipe collection for sure! Check out the recipe below, and give it a try yourself!

  4. Add in Cocoa Cereal, and mix until it is completely coated
  5. Quickly dump your Cereal mix into your pan, and spread out evenly
  6. Allow to cool for about 15 minutes then cut into squares about the size of how big you want your mice to be
  7. Spray hands lightly with cooking spray
  8. Remove a square, and roughly mold into the shape of a mouse using your hands
  9. When finished place on a tray, and repeat with the rest of the treat squares
  10. Remove Tootsie Rolls from wrapper, and roll in hands to make mice tails, and short whiskers
  11. Lift up the treats, and place the tails by pressing the candy into the treat
  12. Use small dollops of Marshmallow Cream for eyes, and add a mini chocolate chip to each
  13. Add a small amount of chocolate icing to the nose area, place on your whiskers, and add more icing on top to finish the nose.
  14. Slice your almonds, and stick just above the eyes to make the ears
  15. Place your mice on a decorative tray, and adjust the tail away from the mouse body for a nice effect
  16. Place in the refrigerator until serving

Notes

Idea: Instead of using tootsie rolls for the whiskers, cut black licorice whips – much easier!

Fun-Size Chocolate Chunk Pan Cookies Recipe (Leftover Halloween Candy)

Fun-Size Chocolate Chunk Pan Cookies Recipe (Leftover Halloween Candy)

My daughter and I had a blast baking cookies “from scratch” tonight. I used to bake all the time, when I was a kid. I have fond memories of hanging out at my grandmas’ and great-grandmas’ houses when they were creating something masterful in the kitchen. All of them were amazing cooks. This is the time of year to bake, after all, the Holidays are right around the corner. (I can’t believe Thanksgiving is two weeks away!) So, I had this brainstorm tonight.  We should make cookies!  Since we didn’t have chocolate chips on hand, I thought… We should use the leftover Halloween candy we didn’t pass out, to make cookies!

I have always been a HUGE fan of the Nestle Tollhouse Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. I’m old enough to remember when they first came out with Tollhouse PAN cookies, and what a fantastic treat they were when I was a kid.

This Original NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Chocolate Chip Pan Cookie is more like a brownie but it has all the rich flavors of Toll House cookies. So skip the spooning and cut up a batch today! Great for all occasions.

Basically, we used the same recipe but substituted Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chips for chopped up fun-size Three Musketeers candy bars. They didn’t stay in tact like a chocolate chip would, so there’s no defined chips in the cookies.

Mr. Gimmie says they are “scrumptious.” (He ate three!) He didn’t actually notice there were no chocolate chips. He noticed the chocolate taste, which was sort of marbled throughout rather than concentrated in one place. They are really good!

My little girl said they are “yummalicious” (I’m guessing at the spelling of that!) We had a great time baking together this evening. Wholesome family fun. 🙂
