1. Can I make Marshmallow Rice Bubbles Halloween Brains ahead of time?

Yes! These treats can be made up to a week in advance. Simply store them in an airtight container at room temperature, and they’ll stay fresh and crispy. This makes them a great option for busy Halloween preparations!

2. Can I substitute the Rice Bubbles with another cereal?

Absolutely! If you prefer a different texture, you can swap the Rice Bubbles for cornflakes, puffed wheat, or any other crispy cereal. Just ensure the cereal you choose is light and crunchy to maintain the ideal texture.

3. How do I make the Marshmallow Rice Bubbles Halloween Brains less sticky?

To prevent the marshmallow mixture from sticking to your hands while shaping, lightly oil your hands or use oiled spoons. This will help you shape the Rice Bubble mixture into smooth, brain-like ovals without the mess!

4. How can I make these treats spicier or add a unique flavor?

For a spicy twist, you can add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the marshmallow mixture. Alternatively, a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg can give these treats a seasonal, spiced flavor that’s perfect for Halloween!

1/2 tsp salt
Red food coloring

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare a Bain-Marie by putting 1/2 cup of water into a small pot and bringing it to a boil. Place a large heatproof bowl over the pot of boiling water.
Place the butter and marshmallows into the heatproof bowl. Stir continuously for 2-4 minutes until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy.
Remove the heatproof bowl from the pot using oven mitts. Add the salt and a few drops of red food coloring to the mixture and stir to combine.
In a large mixing bowl, place the Rice Bubbles. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the Rice Bubbles and stir quickly to coat them evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
Oil your hands and shape the Rice Bubble mixture into ovals. Use a butter knife to gently create a dent in the center of each oval to mimic the appearance of a brain.
Dip a toothpick into the red food coloring and use it to draw veins on each brain shape, giving it a more realistic look.
Allow the shaped brains to cool before storing them in an airtight container for up to one week.

Notes

Be quick when mixing the Rice Bubbles with the marshmallow mixture to avoid the marshmallow solidifying.
Oiling your hands or using two spoons to shape the mixture will help prevent sticking.
Store the marshmallow brains in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
