Ingredients

• 4 cups Dandies vegan marshmallows
• 6 cups gluten-free rice cereal
• 3 tablespoons vegan butter
• Natural green food coloring
• Edible candy eyes
• Gauze
• Skull cookie cutter

Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan melt the vegan butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.

Add a few green food coloring drops into the mixture and stir until evenly colored.

Add cereal and stir until well combined.

By using a piece of wax paper press the mixture into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan. Allow to cool.

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.
