Ingredients
Instructions
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, place your coconut oil.
Once it is melted, add your bag of marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows have melted and your mixture is smooth. Add in the green food coloring to your liking.
Add in the cereal and stir until all of the cereal is coated.
Pour the cereal into a greased 13x9 pan. Wet your hands and press it until it is flat and molded to the pan's shape.
Allow it to cool while you make Frankenstein's hair (the chocolate dipping).
In a microwave-safe bowl, put the dairy-free chocolate chips and shortening in it. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stopping to stir each time until the chocolate is completely melted.
Cut the cooled cereal into rectangles (mine made 12). Reshape as necessary after cutting and removing from the pan.
Dip the top of the rectangle into the chocolate, knocking off any excess. Place it on a pan that is lined with parchment paper or wax paper so it does not stick. Finish doing this to each of the rectangles.
Take the rest of the melted chocolate and place it in a zip top baggie. Snip a tiny corner of the bag. Squeeze out a straight line to form Frankenstein's mouth.

Notes
*Be sure to use vegan marshmallows if you're serving this to a vegan. If not, regular marshmallows are great. Unfortunately, I have yet to find a vegan marshmallow that doesn't use soy. So, you'll need to check out my other allergy friendly Halloween treats if you're a soy-free vegan. If you find a soy-free-vegan-marshmallow, let me know. If you can do gelatin/non-vegan marshmallows, regular Kraft marshmallows are soy free. We've even used the Great Value brand with no problems, as we can have gelatin.Regular (or generic brands) of rice krispies are wheat free, but not gluten-free. If you need gluten-free I've had Erewhorn Crispy Brown Rice Cereal recommended.Also, I have yet to find candy eyeballs (both Wilton & Betty Crocker) that do not use gelatin, therefore making them not OK for Vegans. Here is a homemade recipe I found. Or, you could simply use the plastic eyeballs found at craft stores, and just not eat them. Our allergies, while severe and that get re-tested yearly, are such that we can go strictly by what's on the label. I do not call companies to see what things are derived from, or call manufacturers to see about potential cross contact. If your allergies require you to do so, please do your own homework. I cannot assure you of any ingredient's safety, only you can do that. I simply share what works for our familyIf you are going to feed this to someone with food allergies, and you yourself do not have food allergies, I HIGHLY recommend having them check every single brand and ingredient you are using, to ensure they're OK with each part of the recipe. And, to make sure you've talked to them about how to avoid cross contamination in your kitchen.

Always excited to find my childhood recipes allergy-friendly-ized for my son to have those same memories. These are so easy to make for any holiday, we enjoyed making egg shaped ones for Easter.
