Indian Corn
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 package (10.5 ounces) mini marshmallows
Yellow food coloring
8 cups peanut butter and chocolate puffed corn cereal
10 lollipop sticks
1 cup candy-coated chocolate pieces
Tan and green raffia
1. Line large baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. Melt butter
in large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows; stir until
melted and smooth. Tint with food coloring until desired shade is
reached. Add cereal and 1/2 cup chocolate pieces; stir until evenly
coated. Remove from heat.
2. With lightly greased hands, quickly divide mixture into 10 oblong
pieces. Push lollipop stick halfway into each oblong piece; shape
like ear of corn. Place on prepared baking sheet; press remaining
1/2 cup chocolate pieces into each "ear." Let treats set.
3. Tie or tape raffia to lollipop sticks to resemble corn husks. |
