INGREDIENTS

12 Red Vines Grape Licorice Twists, chopped into small pieces

½ cup water

2 tablespoons butter

2 cups mini marshmallows

Pinch of salt

2 cups rice crisp cereal

16 large candy eyeballs

Purple sprinkles

01. Step One – Melt Red Vines Grape Twists

Combine the Red Vines Grape Licorice Twists and ¼ cup of water in a skillet over low heat.

Cook until the candy is melted, adding more water as needed to prevent it from sticking to the pan, about 7 minutes. When done, it should be the consistency of jelly.

02. Step Two – Melt Butter and Marshmallows

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the marshmallows and a pinch of salt and stir until melted.

If you want a deeper purple color, add a few drops of purple food coloring to the marshmallows.

Remove from heat and fold in the melted Red Vines Grape Licorice Twists (a few lumps are okay).

03. Step Three – Stir in Rice Crisp Cereal

Stir the rice crisp cereal into the marshmallow mixture and allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fill a small bowl with purple sprinkles.

04. Step Four – Roll Into Balls and Add Eyeballs

Roll tablespoon-sized scoops of the cereal mixture between your hands (it helps to spray your hands with cooking spray first) to form ping pong sized balls.

Press a candy eyeball into each ball and roll the front in purple sprinkles. Set the purple monster eyeballs on the baking sheet to cool completely.
