• Line a small rectangular baking sheet or any plate with parchment paper. Set Aside.

Melting the Butter & Marshmallows

• Take a deep or large non stick or ceramic base pan. Add butter to the pan and melt it on the low heat, making sure that it doesn't brown or burn.
• Add Marshmallows to the melted butter and stir till marshmallows melt in the pan. Conduct the whole process on medium low heat. We don't want to burn these marshmallows.
• Switch off the heat and Take the pan off the cooking range/gas stove.

Adding Rice Crispies and Shaping the Monsters

• Now add 4 cups of Rice Crispie Cereal to the marshmallow cream. Mix it well with a wooden spatula.
• Now if you want to make Round Head Monsters, then grease your hand and divide the whole thing into 25-30 portions. Roll these tight into balls. Insert a candy stick on one side. Place them head side down to cool on a baking sheet or a plate lined with parchment paper.
• Now if you plan to make the Square Head Monsters which is the easier way to get these done in no time, then take the whole marshmallow rice crispie thing and spread it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands or a heavy spatula to spread it out into a 1&1/2 inches thick layer. How I did was - I covered the rice crispies mess with another parchment paper and rolled it out with a rolling pin. Let it set till it cools down.

Making Orange Sauce and Dipping / Spreading it on the Monsters.

• Take a microwave safe bowl and heat 1 cup white chocolate chips + 1 tsp milk for 30 seconds. Take it out and stir it well with a fork till the sauce is smooth. If you are making Round Head Monsters then use a small deep bowl so that dipping is easy. If you plan to make Square Heads, then any kind of bowl is good.

Making Round Head Monsters

• Pick one monster at a time from its stick and dip it till half way, head side down, in the orange chocolate sauce. Take 5-6 heavy cups and put these round head monsters in these cups, head side up. These will drip so make sure that your working counter is layered with old newspapers etc, so the clean up is easy later on. Place a set of Eye Candies on these monsters. Let them set till chocolate Orange sauce hardens up. Take 2 drops of orange food color in a small bowl. Use a party pick, dip its tip in the color and draw mouth & other characteristics, as desired.

Making Square Head Monsters

• Take this Orange Chocolate Sauce and spread it evenly, over the flat rice crispie bark. Divide the whole thing into imaginary 2 inches squares and place a set of candy eyes on hot chocolate spread in each imaginary square. Let it cool down.
• Once the chocolate is cooled, take a sharp knife and cut the Rice Crispies into 2 inches squares.
• Place them on the candy sticks.
• Take 2 drops of orange food color in a small bowl. Use a party pick and dip its tip in the color. Draw mouth and other characteristics as desired.
• The Square Head Monsters are ready.

Packaging & Storing

• Make sure that these monsters are well set and cooled before you package and store.
• Get a bag of 40 small plastic goody bags from Dollar Store or the store of your choice. Package each Monster in 1 single bag. Tie it at the neck of the monster with a string.
• These will store well for 2-3 days but not more than that.
• Enjoy making these Rice Crispie Monsters this Halloween.
