Spiced Pumpkin Rice Krispy Treats

Last Minute Idea for kids' fall parties: Spiced Pumpkin Rice Krispy Treats

Aren't they cute?

Simple ingredients: Bag ofPumpkin spice marshmallows, Caramels (1 for each pumpkin), Green Fruit Pick (1 for each), Butter & Non-stick Spray
These are made just like the traditional Treats except you'll be forming round balls with your hands, just spray your hands with non-stick spray before getting to work. 
I took a big spoon to scoop out about 2 scoops of warm krispies and rolled them into a ball.  You have to work quickly or things will get really sticky towards the end. Just make sure to keep your hands greased up during this process. 
I layed them on wax paper and made an indention with my index finger for the stems.  I then took the caramel melts and warmed them with my hands, then stretched and twisted them until they looked like a vine-like stem.  I then took my fruit pick and broke off the top 1/3 and poked it in near the stem. You have a few minutes at the end to play with the shape and form it into a more realistic pumpkin.Voila! Super Easy!

I took these to Landon's friends at Mother's Day Out Pumpkin Patch outing and they were a hit! I made some with candy corns instead of the Fruit Pick and they wanted those instead!

Wild things Farm, Pocola, OK

We went to Wild Things Farm this weekend. There are so many things do at this Pumpkin Patch besides just look at pumpkins.  There are hay rides, a corn maze, fall fruits and  veggies market .  It's a great photo opportunity and they're located in Pocola, OK, just outside of Ft. Smith.  They have things going on year round except for the winter season, although they may have a green house. I had recently posted their website link, but was notified of a malware computer disfunction (?), so you can type it in and check it out.

Livia's Hair Clip was made using felt, a button, hair clip, hot glue gun and some sewing. I will post a tutorial about my felt hair clips soon.

Landon was surprised when Livia took the pumpkin and tried to eat it instead of pose for the picture!

We had so much fun posing Livia. The photo before this, she had eaten grass and was coughing! that girl eats everything, including bugs.

Her leg warmers were made from women's knee socks.

All laid back, the wind just blowin' my hair back, ahh.

Ohhh, I'm going to eat you, little pumpkin!

On the wagon, yes this was the best photo of ALL of us, why Landon?

Landon had fun running, and running, and running. In the background is the pond and you can pay to fish there, too.

So happy this one turned out decent. The wind was blowing and it had just stopped raining. I think I'm going to frame this one!

Landon's thoughts are probably, "Can you see me?"
