- 300 g marshmallows vegan if necessary
- 120 g crispy rice cereal not Kellogg's
- 80 g butter or butter alternative I use Flora Plant Butter
To decorate
- 100 g milk chocolate dairy free
- angelica optional
- edible glitter option
Heat the marshmallows and butter alternative in a large saucepan on a very gentle heat, stir occasionally with a silicone spatula and don’t leave unwatched.
While you’re waiting for the mallows to melt, prepare your work station with cling film squares, a bowl of warm water, a lined baking sheet and some oil for greasing.
Once the mallows have completely melted (the mixture will go all fluffy) you can add the rice crispies stirring quickly to mix. TOP TIP: I keep the heat turned down as low as possible now to keep the mixture workable.
To make the 3D mini ghosts
Using a wet dessert spoon, scoop the mixture into the moulds/espresso cups/egg cups and press down gently.
Gather the edges of the cling film and twist to close and tease out of the mould. Place on a place and repeat until you've made enough mini ghosts.
To make the 2D cookie cutter ghosts
Grease the cookie cutter with some oil and spoon some of the mixture into the centre of the cutter (placed on a prepared baking sheet).
With wet fingers, press into all the corners and once full gently lift the cutter to reveal your ghost shape. Repeat until you've made enough 2D ghosts.
To make the pumpkins
With the remaining crispy mixture, add some orange food colouring. I use a watered down food colour gel, but you can use a few drops of liquid colouring. Go easy to begin with and add more colour if necessary.
Using a lined bigger mould (a mini pudding tin or tea cup) repeat the process you did to make your mini 3D ghosts above and twist the ends of the cling film to seal.
Now take a rubber band and tie it around the moulded ball of crispy mixture. repeat as shown until you achieve a pumpkin shape.
Once you have all your shapes pop them into the fridge for 20+ mins to harden.
