Instructions
- Follow the instructions for making the classic Rice Krispie treat we all love and maybe even know by memory. We made it even easier and listed it below our pumpkin treat instructions. However, the only additional step to the original recipe is to add the orange food coloring to the marshmallow and butter mixture after you remove it from the stove and just before you add the Rice Krispies. Once you've mixed the food coloring in thoroughly and have your desired shade of orange, add the Rice Krispies and mix. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Don't skip this step! Before you roll the pumpkin into its shape, rub both of your hands with a sufficient amount of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil. Repeat this for every pumpkin. Roll each pumpkin into a rounded shape and place on parchment paper.While the Rice Krispies are still warm, gently press a pretzel stick into the center of each pumpkin to represent the stem. On a clean working space, roll out a piece of kneaded green fondant, about the same size and shape as the cavity in your silicone mold.Place green fondant leaf firmly into the leaf mold, filling the entire cavity. Using a spatula and your fingers, trim off any excess fondant from the top.To remove the leaf piece, turn out your fondant mold and flex the mat until the leaf shape is released from the mold. Gently place each leaf on one side of the pretzel stick of each pumpkin. Store in individual plastic bags or in an airtight container until serving.
