With it being close to Halloween and Thanksgiving, I thought I would share a recipe, I have had for a few years. This cute, decoration snack, would be fun to make with your kids or at a Scouting meeting.

PREPARATION:
- Line large baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
- Melt butter in large heavy saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows; stir until melted and smooth. Tint with food coloring until desired shade is reached. Add cereal and 1/2 cup chocolate pieces; stir until evenly coated. Remove from heat.
- With lightly greased hands, quickly divide mixture into 10 oblong pieces. Push lollipop stick halfway into each piece; shape like ear of corn. Place on prepared baking sheet. Press remaining 1/2 cup chocolate pieces into each "ear." Let treats stand until set.
- Tie or tape raffia to lollipop sticks to resemble corn husks.
Tip
Lollipop sticks and colored raffia are sold at craft and hobby stores.
