directions

  • Melt the 3 tbsp butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
  • While butter is melting, grease a 9x13-inch pan with softened butter or shortening.
  • When butter is melted, add marshmallows and stir until they liquify; do not scorch.

  • Add M&Ms and candy corn, mixing them throughout.
  • Spread mixture into the greased pan and press down lightly with a spatula to pack it.
  • While it is still sticky, place ghost or pumpkin marshmallows, candy pumpkins, or even more candy corn or M&M's on top to decorate as you desire.
  • Allow mixture to set and harden slightly before cutting into squares and serving.
  • Store unused treats in an airtight container.

  2. These were a total hit at my son's school - thanks for making me look good, Sue! Everyone was very impressed that they were bright orange and couldn't have been more easy to throw together. Looks like an annual Hallow's Eve tradition!
