Cornflake Pumpkins
Yum!
Don't these look good? I told you I love Fall, didn't I? This season just gets the baking and cute dessert making bug under my skin. I love making these cornflake pumpkins cause they just look so darn cute! They are perfect for my littles too as they fit just right in their little hands. Want to make some for your littles too? Here is the recipe:
Cornflake Pumpkins
30 large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 tsp orange food coloring
1 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups cornflakes
1 bag wilton green candy melts
Place the marshmallows and butter in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute. Stir the puffed up marshmallows and butter together until it's one big gooey mess. Add the vanilla and orange food coloring and mix well. Then, add the cornflakes. Mix until all the cornflakes are coated well. Drop by large tablespoonfuls onto a greased piece of waxed paper. Place 1/2 cup of the wilton candy melts in a microwave safe bowl and melt as per directions on the package. Scoop the melted candy into a ziploc bag. Cut off the tip of one corner of the ziploc bag and decorate your pumpkins with stems and leaves! Eat and Enjoy!
Just squeeze a stem and some leaves onto your pumpkin...soooo cute!
Now, grab some fast before they're all gone!

Wow, these look great. I've been trying to come up with some unique ideas myself. Thanks so much for sharing.
Am i doing something wrong?? My marshmallows and butter are super runny so i keep adding marshmallows! Help!! :)
Nope, you aren't doing anything wrong! The marshmallow/butter will be runny, just add in the cornflakes until they are nicely coated! Once the little pumpkins cool they will firm up like a rice krispie treat!
I made these last night and posted about them with a link to your blog on my blog! They were great, thank you for sharing!!
I have mini marshmallows on hand instead of large. How many mini ones do you think it would be? Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to try these. jenni4stewart@gmail.com
You will need about 4 cups of mini marshmallow!
