marshmallow cornflake balls.

At last, it's Halloween! Have you picked out your costume yet? .___.; Because I haven't... since the family isn't too big on this holiday nor is my neighborhood. It's much to dangerous to go out at night for fear of getting shot or mugged. Though that doesn't mean you can't enjoy a small gathering with friends or family in the safety of home~

Initially a lovely friend and I were planning a Halloween party~ but let's just say we're working on an autumn gathering instead. Haha~ anyway, I found a container of chocolate sprinkles in the pantry and decided to put it to use (rather than spooning them straight into my mouth).

I ended up making corn flake balls with them in light of Halloween~ though there's nothing spooky about these at all. They're just tasty and semi-addictive.

They're are quite versatile~ you can add in toasted and shelled pumpkin seeds into them or anything you'd like really. I wouldn't suggest adding eye of newts or wolf's bane into the mix. =)

 

Wrap these babies up in decorated foil or cellophane to give away as treats or as fillers for goodie bags.

 marshmallow cornflake balls.

we'll need:

4tbls butter (1/2 stick)

1 bag mini marshmallows (flavored and plain both works)

3~4 cups cornflakes

1 cup of your choice of nuts, seeds, chocolate pieces, candies... etc. (I'm using spiced maple pecans and chocolate sprinkles)

utensils:

nonstick pot
spatula
greased nonstick baking sheet
decorated foil or cellophane wrap

~In the pot, melt the butter and marshmallows over medium heat, stirring occasionally with the spatula. Remove from heat and gently stir in the cornflakes and your choice of seeds...etc. When everything is coated, pour the mixture onto the baking sheet. Let it cool for 5 minutes. With greased hands, grab a handful of the cornflake mixture and carefully shape into balls. Then wrap in the foil or cellophane.













Have a safe and happy Halloween!
