Total Time: 59 mins Preparation Time: 39 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 cups miniature marshmallows
• 2/3 cup butterscotch chips
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• green food coloring
• 8 cups puffed rice cereal, such as rice krispies
• 12 6 inch lollipop sticks
• 1/3 cup canned chocolate frosting

Recipe

• 1 butter a 15"x10" jellyroll pan.
• 2 in a large, wide pot melt the butter over medium heat.
• 3 add the marshmallows; cook, stirring constantly, until melted.
• 4 stir in the butterscotch chips and peanut butter until melted and smooth.
• 5 make the mixture light green with drops of green food coloring.
• 6 remove from the heat.
• 7 coat the inner sides of the pot with cooking spray so that the cereal won't stick; stir in the cereal until combined.
• 8 press the mixture into the jellyroll pan to make a 1"-thick, 12"x10" rectangle.
• 9 draw an alien's head shape (round on top and coming to a point on the bottom of the face) on a piece of wax paper (make the drawing approximately 3½" long) and cut out.
• 10 place the paper alien head on the cereal mixture and trace around it with a knife; repeat to cut out 12 aliens, discarding scraps.
• 11 starting at the bottom point of the face, insert a stick 1/3 of way through the head.
• 12 transfer the frosting to a plastic food storage bag with the corner snipped.
• 13 squeeze out the frosting to make eyes and mouth.
• 14 (the eyes should be pointed at both ends and go up at an angle and the mouth should be a short line).
