Yummy Pumpkin Rice Crispy

I wished I could have taken a picture of this pumpkin made out of rice crispy treats. I wanted to bring a homemade thing to this party. I was at the grocery store trying to think of what I could make....then it came to me.....if you could make peanut butter rice crispy squares, why not pumpkin? I made it up in a real hurry....sorry my measurements a wacky, I just throw stuff together....

Melt a teaspoon of butter and a bag of marshmallows.
Mix in about 1/2 cup of cooked pumpkin
Stir in one box of rice crispy (not the biggest box, I think the 16 oz...)

spray a round glass bowl with non stick spray.

put the rice crispy mixture into the bowl, but leave about a half cup in the pan. press the rice crispy mixture down to compact it a little.

with the half cup remainder in the pan, put a little green dye in it and mix it in (for the stem). I used tinfoil sprayed with non stick spray and shaped the green mix into a steam.

let it cool down and harden a little.

then get your serving plate and dump out the bowl on to it. This should give a nice round, or oval pumpkin depending on your bowl you used. Then attach the stem to the top of the pumpkin. I like to get the cake decorating icing and draw a Jack-O-Lantern face on it.

Beautiful snack that's easy, kids love, healthier and has a great festive appeal!

Carrot Tacos...Yum!

Okay, this recipe is for parents whose kids don't like to eat veggies, or love them too!

I use pancake mix, 2 jars of baby food carrots, and cream cheese

Make the pancakes, and add the baby food carrots to the pancakes.

Fry the pancakes, I usually make them about four inches around.

Spread cream cheese on them and fold like a taco.

My kids love them and they are easy!
