whole milk

DIRECTIONS
CRISPY TREATS
Thoroughly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
In a large non-stick pot, melt butter over low-medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir until melted.
Remove from heat and mix in vanilla.
Add rice cripsy cereal, stir and coat but do not over mix.
Grease spatula and spread mixture into pan evenly.
Let cool completely for a couple hours. When cooled make glaze.
NATURALLY COLORFUL GLAZE
Divide powdered sugar into 3 medium sized bowls, approximately ¾ cup each. Mix powdered sugar with a spoon and break apart any clumps in the sugar.
Add Orange to one bowl, Green to second bowl, and Purple to third.
Add 2 ½ tsp milk and ¼ tsp vanilla to each bowl and blend with a spoon. If too thick add ½ tsp more milk at a time until lightly runny. Stir until all the sugar and color is dissolved.
DECORATE
Using spatula, remove crispy treats from pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into even sized squares.
Cover baking tray with parchment paper.
Dip squares into glaze bowls and then turn over on clean side to dry, letting the icing drip down the sides.
Decorate with eyes or other Halloween spooky goodies.
Let glaze dry for several hours.
