Spiced Candy Corn Crispies
- One 10-ounce bag marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon pure ancho chile powder
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Orange and yellow food coloring
- 6 cups Rice Krispies
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
- Spray two mini muffin pans with vegetable oil spray.
- In a large saucepan, combine half of the marshmallows with 2 tablespoons of the butter.
- Add the chile powder, cumin, coriander and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and cook over moderate heat until the marshmallows have melted.
- Stir in enough orange food coloring to dye the marshmallow orange.
- Stir in 3 cups of the rice cereal.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin cups and pack it down with lightly oiled hands.
- Wash and dry the saucepan.
- Add the remaining marshmallows, 2 tablespoons of butter and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and cook over moderate heat until melted and smooth.
- Pour half of the melted marshmallow into a heatproof bowl and stir in 1 1/2 cups of the rice cereal to make the white layer.
- Add the cayenne and yellow food coloring to the marshmallow in the saucepan and stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of rice cereal.
- Using lightly oiled hands, mound the yellow mixture on top of the orange layer, packing it down to firmly attach it.
- Top with the white layer, tapering the mixture to a point so the crispies resemble the conical shape of candy corn.
- Serve or store overnight in an airtight container.
