Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat Zombies

Do you like Rice Krispie Treats? I do. It has always been a favorite snack of mine. I didn’t know that they could be made into fun shapes and colors until I saw people making them on Pinterest. As soon as I saw it, my eyes were opened and I sat there thinking of all the fun things I could make with my favorite snack. Then, the other day as I was looking at my blog, I saw my zombie donuts and immediately thought of making pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat zombies.

You may need to snip the vampire teeth into two pieces if they don’t bend well. Mine were ripping the treats apart but, once I cut them, it worked like a charm.

Cut out pumpkin shapes with a pumpkin cutter. Use the remaining treats to roll into balls for your “normal” pumpkins.

Use a little icing to glue on the eyes. I like to use different sizes to give them more character.

Insert the Tootsie Rolls as the stems on the “normal” pumpkins. You could trim the stem of the pumpkin Rice Krispie Treat Zombies and replace them with the Tootsie Rolls if you want.
