Equipment
- Parchment paper or silicon mat
- Spider web cookie cutter
- Black gel frosting
- Spider sprinkles
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 40 marshmallows or 5 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- black gel icing
- spider sprinkles or gummies
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper, silicon mat, or rubbing on butter. Set aside.
- Add butter to a large pot over medium heat. When melted, add marshmallows to the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
- Remove the pot from the heat and add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently with a spatula until fully combined. Keep in mind that as it cools, the mixture will get harder to work with.
- Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Press and shape with your hands until smooth and even. Cool completely (about 1 hour).
- Once completely cooled, remove the block of Rice Krispies treats from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Using a spider web cookie cutter, cut as many as you can get.
- Using a gel frosting tube, draw a web on the cookies. Then place a spider sprinkle on each one.
Notes
- You have to work quickly once you take the mixture off the heat as it will begin to harden right away.
- You can make whatever size webs you want, but the smaller they are the harder they are to cut out and draw on.
- For frosting the cookies, it's easier if you start with the straight lines. Draw the straight lines first, going from one tip to the opposite one, keeping the lines as straight as possible. Then move on to the outline, and then the middle curved lines.
- To make it easier to cut with a cookie cutter, try dipping the edges of the cookie cutter into either softened or melted butter. This will keep it from sticking to the cookies so much and you'll get a cleaner cut.
- If you need to, you can use a toothpick to clean up your spiderweb lines if they get a little messy.
