1 package (10-1/2 ounces) miniature marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
Red and yellow gel food coloring
6 cups crisp rice cereal
6 Popsicle sticks
3 miniature Tootsie Rolls, cut in half widthwise
3 miniature green apple Air Head candies, cut lengthwise into thin strips
Black decorating gel
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan, combine the marshmallows, butter and salt. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until melted. Remove from the heat; tint orange with red and yellow food coloring. Stir in cereal.
With buttered hands, shape mixture into six balls. Insert a Popsicle stick into each ball. Press half of a Tootsie Roll into the top of each for stem. Roll Air Head strips between hands to form vines; press into each pumpkin near stem. Make jack-o'-lantern faces with decorating gel. Yield: 6 servings.
