Instructions

1. Make a 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture (3 Tbsp. Butter/3 Cups Marshmallows/3 Cups Cereal).
2. Add the red food coloring to the Marshmallow mixture BEFORE you add the Rice Krispie Cereal.  We used 6 drops of Wilton Color Right Red Food Coloring.
3. Let the mixture cool for 2-3 minutes and then pour the Rice Krispie Treat mixture onto a lightly buttered 8×8″ pan.
4. Press the Rice Krispie mixture evenly into the pan and let cool for 5-10 minutes.
5. Pop the sheet of Rice Krispie Treats out of the pan and cut it into six rectangular pieces.
6. To make the Elmo Face, start with two Wilton Bright White Candy Melts.  We used a little bit of black icing on the back as “glue”.  Press the candy melts, top side down into the top part of the Rice Krispie Treat.
7. Add an orange Peanut M&M for Elmo’s nose.
8. For Elmo’s mouth, cut one chocolate wafer from an Oreo in half and place it directly under Elmo’s M&M nose.
9. Finally, use your Black icing to create two eyes on the candy melts.
