Hooting Halloween owls

golden caster sugar

self-raising flour

cocoa powder

eggs

icing sugar

tube orange ready-to-use icing

Maltesers

tub jelly diamonds (just the orange ones)

Heat oven to 190C/fan 170C/gas 5. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with brown muffin cases. Beat the first 5 ingredients to a smooth batter and spoon between the cases, almost filling them to the top. You may have a little left over. Bake for 20-25 mins until risen and spongy. Cool on a rack.

Beat the butter and icing sugar until smooth. Slice off the very tops of the cakes and cut each piece in half. Spread a generous layer of icing over each cake.

Working on one cake at a time, squirt a pea-sized blob of orange icing onto two Maltesers and use to fix a brown M&M on each. Sit the eyes, two pieces of cake top (curved edge up) and a jelly diamond on the icing to make an owl.

In a large bowl mix together melted butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Then add in eggs and stir until batter is like a thick caramel.

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Then pour flour into batter, roughly a ½ cup at a time, folding batter over itself to smooth any ribbons of flour into the batter. The batter will be very thick.

Add in red and green M&amp;M&#x27;s and chocolate chips to batter and gently combine.

Pour into baking pan and spread evenly. Top with additional M&amp;M&#x27;s and chocolate chips if desired. Bake at 350ºF for 26 minutes.

M&amp;M Cookie Dough Fudge recipe is quick and easy to make, it tastes like raw dough in fudge form.

Monster Cookie Dough Fudge

all-purpose flour

plain mini M&M’s (divided into ½ cup and ½ cup)

salted sweet cream butter (softened)

sugar

brown sugar (packed)

half and half

condensed milk

Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly spray it with nonstick spray. Set it aside.

Add the all-purpose flour to a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute. Allow the flour to cool completely. Once the flour is completely cooled, sift the flour to remove any small clumps.

Add 1 cup of the plain M&M’s and ½ cup of the mini M&M’s to quart-size Ziploc bags. Place both in the freezer while making the rest of the recipe.

Using a medium-sized mixing bowl and a handheld mixer, cream the butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, half and half, vanilla extract, and salt for 1½-2 minutes.

Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour, and mix just until the ingredients are well incorporated. Set it aside.

In a heat-safe medium-sized bowl, heat the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well after each 30 seconds, until the chips are completely melted and smooth.

Remove the Ziploc bags from the freezer. Using a wooden spoon, stir the frozen M&M’s into the butter and flour mixture.

Spoon the white chocolate mixture into the cookie dough. Stir just until all ingredients are combined.

Spoon the cookie dough fudge into the prepared baking dish.

Evenly sprinkle the remaining M&M’s and mini M&M’s on top of the cookie dough fudge. Very gently press the M&M’s into the top of the fudge. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to overnight.

Remove the fudge from the refrigerator and slice the fudge into 25 squares, 5 pieces across and 5 pieces down.

These Christmas Rice Krispie Treats are the easiest holiday dessert! This nostalgic dessert is amped up with brown butter, vanilla and almond extract, and become festive by using sprinkles and holiday M&amp;Ms!

Christmas Rice Krispie Treats

salted butter

oz mini marshmallows

tsp vanilla extract

tsp almond extract

Rice Krispies

oz white chocolate

Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper. Lightly mist with nonstick cooking spray and set aside. In a large pot melt your butter. Once melted, continually stir until the butter just begins to brown. The butter should foam up twice and then begin to give off almost a nutty aroma. Immediately remove from heat so the butter does not burn.

Immediately stir in the two teaspoons of vanilla extract. The hot mixture will bubble up, so continue to stir an additional thirty seconds until the sizzling subsides. Add in salt.

Add in one bag or half of your marshmallows and mix until almost completely melted before adding the remaining. Stir until all of the marshmallows are entirely combined and melted. At this point, add in the Rice Krispies, 2 cups at a time, and lightly stir until combined. Continue to add the Rice Krispies until everything is evenly combined. 

Add in the M&amp;Ms and holiday sprinkles. Stir only until incorporated or the M&amp;Ms will start to melt. Pour the mixture into the 9×13 pan. Lightly wet your hands and gently push into the pan to the edges. You don&#39;t want to crush it, so really be gentle with it!

For the Rice Krispies:

Break up the white chocolate and add to a heat proof bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until completely melted. Once it&#39;s ready, set aside for 3 minutes to chill down to room temperature. Using a spoon, drizzle about half of the white chocolate onto the treats. Sprinkle on the M&amp;Ms and sprinkles. Use the rest of the white chocolate to drizzle on top of the garnishes. This helps to lock them onto the dessert so they don&#39;t all fall off!

For the garnish:

Worst recipe ever. Too much butter for the amount of marshmallows and Rice Krispies you need. With something like I would stick with a 1/2 cup of butter, not a cup!

10 out of 10! This recipe was delicious!!! I ended up running out of Rice Krispies at about 8 cups and it still came out perfect - moist and flavorful!! Not to mention the presentation as everyone at Thanksgiving thought they were store-bought! Thank you so much for this recipe!!

Instead of adding salt and using salted butter I added pretzels! *mwah chefs kiss*  and half of it I just kept plain with unsalted butter marshmallow and rice crispy for the baby! Anyone can do this, perfect for family’s basically the kids could help decorate. Hardest part is the browning of the butter because you don’t want to burn it.  So much fun!

Not enough mini marshmallows for the amount of rice krispies, my recipe came out extremely dry and crumbly.

The brown butter was something I never tried but there’s turned out to be the best rice crispies I’ve ever had! I was able to make these up within 15 minutes and then drizzled with white, green and red chocolate (white). Bought the different colors from Michaels store.
Delicious and so festive! Thanks!!

They tasted so good! I messed it up so it didn’t really work, but i retried and it was awesome!! I totally recommend this recipe!
