Each child in my daughter's 4th grade class takes turns bringing in a snack everyday. My daughter was picked to bring in a snack on October 31. Since it was Halloween and all kids love Rice Krispies Treats we decided it was an easy decision. The problem was, it was Halloween day, so we decided that the Rice Krispies Treats would dress up like Candy Corn. We use food coloring and made 3 rows of Treats. The top row was white, the middle row orange and the bottom yellow. Once they cooled we cut them into Candy corn shapes and rounded the points. They came out so cute, we just love them.
