Green Monster Rice Cereal Treats (Gluten-Free Vegan)

September 30, 2013 by Cara

Friends, you should know by now that I am completely crazy over Halloween. I mean, I have an entire section dedicated to all things creepy, disgusting, and eerie.  So it is of no surprise to you that I will take any excuse to celebrate my favorite holiday a good month in advance. What better way to celebrate with all of you than to present my first ever Fork & Beans Halloween e-Book?! *enter canned applause*

 Green Monster Rice Cereal Treats
Gluten-Free Vegan Monster Krispie Treats Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 4 c. vegan marshmallows
  • 6 c. gluten-free brown rice cereal
  • 3 Tbsp. nondairy butter
  • natural green food coloring
  • homemade googly eyes
  • Gauze
  • Skull cookie cutter

Directions:

In large saucepan melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat. Add a few all-natural green food coloring drops into the mixture and stir until evenly colored. Add cereal and stir until well combined. Using wax paper, evenly press mixture into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.

Cut out skull shapes with the cookie cutter. Wrap each head with gauze and place the edible eyes on by either pressing firmly in the treats or “glue” with royal icing.

    What is EnerG?

      October 9, 2013 at 3:14 pm

      Hi Gaynelle! Here is a link to what EnerG egg replacer is: http://www.ener-g.com/egg-replacer.html It’s a combo of potato and tapioca starches, baking soda and powder. If you do not have this available where you live, here is a great link on how to make your own: http://wholenewmom.com/recipes/energ-egg-substitute-egg-replacer-without-eggs/
      Hope this helps!

    Congratulations…superfun way to start your publishing career! Tombstone Ice Cream Sandwiches are exactly what I’m craving…seriously, last night I loudly proclaimed that I *needed* to have one and was immediately admonished that it’s “no longer ice cream sandwich season”. HA! You have proved them wrong. 😉

        Actually, I’m thinking about dressing up as Mavis for Halloween this year.
        Gotta love her. 🙂
        Her birthday worm cake looks like a “Cara Halloween” creation.
        XOXOXO

        • Your Biggest Fan!

          October 11, 2013 at 4:54 pm

          OK…I think Mavis is a little too cutsie for me. Back to the drawing board – Eek!

    Hi Cara,
    I love the idea of your Halloween cookbook and was wondering if your recipes call for xanthan gum.

    • Cara

      September 30, 2013 at 2:05 pm

      Hi Nicolette! Only one of the recipes (Trick-or-Treat Sugar Cookies calls for xanthan and I’m almost positive you could omit it and it would be fine. Hope this helps! xo

      • Nicolette

        October 1, 2013 at 9:12 pm

        I am so excited! Thank you so much for creating this Halloween book I cannot wait to purchase it now 🙂

        • Cara

          October 6, 2013 at 9:00 am

          Yay, I hope you like it Nicolette! xo
