Are you looking for some fun and colorful Halloween treats to make with your kids this year? These are the perfect sweet treat for kids this Halloween. This recipe below is very flexible. You can even use cheerios and rice Krispie instead of fruit loops or combine all the three. I love cereal, and I generally avoid bringing home these kinds of yummy breakfast-cereals as I keep munching on them as a snack. I also use them as a crunchy-topping with yogurts and ice-creams. These bars are so easy to make, kids can also help you with measuring the ingredients, adding their favorite color loops, and cutting the marshmallows if you are using a jumbo-marshmallow like the one I did.
To make this extra special, you can also add dry fruits and nuts, chocolate chips, and M&M’s. You can also make it look fancier by drizzling some melted chocolate on top.
All you have to do is melt the butter first. I have used a non-stick pan and silicon spatula to work with this. It makes your task easy and no mess. Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and melt on medium low heat till it becomes smooth. Next, add a pinch of salt and vanilla extract. You can add any of your favorite flavorings at this point. Once you switch off the flame, you will have to work fast as it will be sticky and thickens as it cools down. Add the peanut butter and stir. Finally, add the fruit loops, and any other ingredients like M&M’s at this point and mix till its coated.
Transfer this to parchment-paper-lined or greased pan and using a silicon spatula press it so that its spread evenly. If you are using any other spatula, make sure you oil it with cooking spray to avoid any sticking. Allow it to cool down completely and set before you slice. And you are done. Simple yet so easy, colorful, and delicious!!! Follow me on Instagram and tag me with #cookwithkushi so that I get a chance to see all the recipes you make and give it a ♥.
