Ghostly Cereal Treats
Yesterday, I received the exciting news that the Ghostly Cereal Treats I created were chosen to appear on BettyCrocker.com. Check out the Ghostly Cereal Treats and other blogger’s spooky creations on the I Love Cereal page. Visit BettyCrocker.com to find more holiday snacks and get details on how you can submit a recipe and image for the chance to be appear on the homepage this Halloween!
These fun ghostly treats are similar to Rice Krispie Treats, but I used Count Chocula to make it more Halloween like. I created the ghost shapes by using small dixie cups as molds. Next, I covered them in vanilla candy coating, and then gave them personalities by adding eyes and mouths. Kids will love decorating and eating these sweet ghosts!

6 c. Count Chocula Cereal
1/4 c. butter
1 (10 1/2 oz.) bag miniature marshmallows

- Use scissors to cut along the sides of the Dixie cups, and peel the cups away to remove the cereal treats.
