Frankenstein Brown Rice Krispie Treats

September 1, 2014 by Cara

It’s that mother stinkin’ time of the year friends:

300X150_g2

I am so excited about this season. Why? Not only do you get to peruse tons upon tons of awesome blogs who are posting 30 days straight about vegan food but also because it’s been my month since 2011 for all-things Halloween. If you are new to Fork and Beans, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. I love me some Halloween and this is the time where my creativity really comes out.

 

 Cute Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats for Halloween!

Don’t believe me? Check out this section of recipes reserved for a Halloween theme. Or how about these Frankenstein Brown Rice Krispie Treats for size? They are an extremely fun way to celebrate the season while remaining true to your gluten-free and vegan roots.  

 Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats, what a cute idea for Halloween!

    Omg these are so Halloween-ish-ly cute! It’s so hard to find “cute” themed vegan foods and often I’m stuck trying to veganize them myself, thanks so much for this recipe!

    Somehow when I saw Halloween in the theme preview I knew it would be you! I used a few of your recipes from your e-book for last year’s Halloween party and they were a big hit! I’m excited to see what you come up with this year!

    I just love how you carry out my obsession with Halloween. I’m so boring that I never make anything spooky for Halloween, but I always have visions that I will! So I get to live through my Halloween obsession through you. Happy MoFo!

  25. Laurel

    September 1, 2014 at 9:02 am

    Has MOFO started already? No wonder all those recipes just popped up in my feed. You know I never thought I’d say it but I think this determined shoulder injury may just save me from myself this month. No, this is not a cue for pity, overnight delivery is another matter entirely. xoxoxo

    • Cara

      September 1, 2014 at 10:15 am

      Today is the official Vegan MoFo day missy! Gear up for the wild ride (just make sure that shoulder is taken care of…) xo

      • hippymomelizabeth

        September 2, 2014 at 2:05 pm

        Im sure all throw a couple of recipes out there. I have so many recipe ideas, it can be so costly though…I just wish I could have purchased a camera by now. Soon, Soon
