Instructions

Prepare the Muffin Tray: Line a 12-hole nonstick muffin tray with cupcake cases to ensure the crispy cakes hold their shape and are easy to remove.
Melt Marshmallows and Butter: In a large mixing bowl, melt the marshmallows and cubed butter together, stirring continuously until the mixture is completely smooth and combined.
Add Food Coloring: Mix in 2 teaspoons of green natural food coloring thoroughly to tint the marshmallow mixture evenly.
Fold in Rice Crispies: Gently fold the rice crispies into the colored marshmallow mixture until all the cereal is fully coated in the gooey mixture.
Fill Cupcake Cases: Spoon the mixture into the lined cupcake cases, pressing down lightly with the back of the spoon to compact the mixture and form crisp, even cakes.
Add White Chocolate Truffles: Place one white chocolate Lindor truffle on top of each crispy cake to add a creamy, indulgent topping.
Decorate: Use a black writing icing pen or a small piece of black sugar paste to draw spooky faces or Halloween-themed details on the white chocolate truffles for a festive look.
Allow to Set: Let the cakes cool and set completely before serving, allowing the marshmallow mixture to harden slightly for optimal texture.

Notes

For best results, ensure the marshmallow mixture is still warm when folding in the rice crispies to guarantee even coating.
You can substitute the white chocolate truffles with any other small chocolates or candies if preferred.
Use natural food coloring to avoid artificial additives and keep the recipe kid-friendly.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness for up to 2 days.
This recipe is perfect for quick Halloween party treats or fun family cooking activities.
