Easy Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats for Halloween. This past weekend the kids and I spent a lot of time with pumpkin. Between picking them at the patch and carving them for the front porch, we were in pumpkin heaven. So it only made sense to get in the kitchen and make some pumpkin fun in there too. I was digging through my stash of Wilton baking pans and ran into the Ice Cream Cookie Bowl pan that I had completely forgotten about. Turns out, it’s pretty darn perfect for making a realistic shaped pumpkin when filled with Rice Krispies Treats. To make these, all you need is your favorite Rice Krispies Treats recipe, the Wilton Ice Cream Cup Pan and a few small helpers eager to celebrate Halloween.
Alternatively, if you don’t have this pan, you could always just rolls the treats into a ball with your hands. While you’re melted the marshmallows and butter, add a little orange or red/yellow to create a nice bright orange color. Once the molded treats cool, you can place two of them together to create a pumpkin shape. Amazing Halloween Rainbow Party Bundt Cake Recipe.

I threw this Vietnamese Coffee-inspired Jello together in about 15 minutes yesterday evening, popped it in the fridge and eagerly waited for the gelatin to set. I had never even thought about making homemade Jello until my mother-in-law made those darling almond Jello eggs for Easter. This Vietnamese Coffee Jello turned out pretty darn tasty, if you like coffee and gelatinous things. The Jello can be cut into the most perfect, smooth cubes and are sturdy enough to be picked up and eaten with your fingers.
