Frankenstein ricekrispie treats-

  1. Take rice krispie treats, and coat the top in green frosting. I took vanilla flavored frosting and put about three drops of green food dye.
  2. To create the top of Frankenstein’s head, melt mini chocolate chips by putting them in a bowl, and microwaving them for 30 seconds.
  3. Once melted, dip the top of the green coated rice krispie in the chocolate.
  4. Put them in the fridge so that the frosting and chocolate hardened.
  5. Take two mini chocolate chips, put frosting on the base of them to act as glue and place them as eyes.
  6. With black decorating gel, create the smile and scar.

  4. Using frosting as glue, put a strip of frosting on both sides of the marshmallow.
  5. Put the green coconut shreds on the frosting until they stick.
  6. Take an Oreo, open and clean it of the frosting so you’re left with just one cookie.
