Description

Marshmallow Rice Bubbles Halloween Brains are a spooky, fun treat perfect for your Halloween party table! These gooey, brain-shaped rice bubble snacks are made with fluffy marshmallows, puffed rice cereal, and a dash of red coloring for that gory effect. Kids and adults alike will love these creepy, chewy bites!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 cups Rice Bubbles (puffed rice cereal)
  • 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Red food coloring (gel or liquid)
  • Corn syrup or strawberry syrup (optional, for extra ‘bloody’ effect)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  2. Add several drops of red food coloring to the melted marshmallow mix until you get a creepy pinkish-red tone.
  3. Remove from heat and quickly stir in Rice Bubbles until evenly coated.
  4. Grease your hands and mold the mixture into brain shapes or press into a brain-shaped silicone mold if you have one.
  5. Drizzle with strawberry syrup or corn syrup tinted with red food coloring for extra gore.
  6. Let set at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Work quickly while the mixture is warm for easier shaping.
  • For more realistic detail, use a knife or skewer to carve slight indentations into the brain shape.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
