Ingredients

  • 4 Tbsp. vegan butter

  • 1 10-oz. bag vegan marshmallows

  • 5 cups crispy rice cereal* or any puffed rice cereal

  • 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips

Directions

  • In a large saucepan, combine the vegan butter and the vegan marshmallows over low heat. (You can also do this step and the next one in in a glass bowl in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the marshmallows are fully melted.)
  • Stir regularly for about 7–8 minutes, or until largely melted.
  • Add the cereal to the saucepan, stir until well combined, and remove from the heat.
  • Press the mixture into a 9×9 baking pan until it’s about 1 inch thick (but no thinner or it will be too thin to pipe the faces onto). Set aside to cool.
  • Meanwhile, sketch mice ears onto a piece of paper, place on a cutting board, and cover with wax paper.
  • Heat the chocolate chips in the microwave or a double boiler until melted.
  • Pour the melted chocolate into a piping bag and pipe it onto the wax paper to form mice ears. (You can also use a resealable plastic bag by holding it diagonally, with one corner at the bottom, and cutting a tiny hole in the corner.) Place in the freezer for 20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
  • Cut the pressed cereal mixture into 12 mouse-size squares.
  • Pipe chocolate onto each square to form eyes, a nose, whiskers, and a tail. Then pipe chocolate onto the top of the squares to attach the frozen ears. Work quickly when attaching the ears to prevent them from melting.

Notes

  • *Rice Krispies brand contains vitamin D3 made from lanolin, a wax extracted from sheep’s wool, so it’s not vegan.
