We had a monster making weekend at our house. Last week, I bought a special edition halloween rice krispie cereal at the supermarket not knowing what I would do with it. But since it had creepy marshmallow eyeballs, lips, noses and fingers in it, I knew it would be good makings for a halloween something.
So on Saturday Buddy and I decided to make some monster rice krispie treats, or as Buddy calls them, monster "rice pee cretes". He had a lot of fun sorting the various parts, and once the treats were made it was a breeze decorating them. We also had so many marshmallow body parts left over that I think I'll make cupcakes this week and let Buddy decorate those too.
These are all the monsters that I managed to photograph as a couple tried to run away so we were forced to eat them.
they look seriously revolting! my boys would love to "gobble them all up"

Those runaway monsters got exactly what they deserved!
Super cute idea! I am going to have to look for these Rice Krispies when I go to the grocery store this week!

Don't you hate having to restrain AWOL monsters in your mouth? :-) I doubt I'd have any left to photograph. Sooo cute and fun! I hope Buddy enjoyed his rice pee cretes!

I know what we're doing after school tomorrow! Every step of that process looks like fun--especially the eating. Thanks to you and Buddy both for a great idea!

this is great for halloween.

Those are brilliant! What a clever idea! And, your picture of all the parts sorted is so appealing to the organizational freak in me...

Okay Myra, you've been tagged. If you haven't already done it, you must list twenty nifty things about yourself. I made my list this morning.
