How to make
-
STEP 1
Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-low heat; add marshmallows. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, 5-7 minutes or until melted and smooth. Remove from heat; stir in red and yellow food color. Stir in cereal until well coated. Let mixture cool 5 minutes.

STEP 2
Shape about 1 cup cereal mixture into round shape, using buttered measuring cup to portion out mixture. Repeat with remaining cereal mixture to make 6 pumpkins total.

STEP 3
Press mini chocolate roll candy halves into top of pumpkins. Press butter knife edge into sides of crispy balls to create indentations on sides to resemble pumpkin.

Pipe green frosting around stems to create vines.
