Prep time

These little hobgoblins treats were shared in a Halloween newsletter from Enjoy Life Foods, but you can make them year round!
This is a fun recipe to make with kids, and is quite easy. But do allow time for the chocolate to set up in the refrigerator.

Serves: bumches of little goblins
Ingredients
Hobgoblins:
- 2 teaspoons brown rice syrup
- ¼ cup Sunbutter sunflower seed butter
- Crispy cereal (about ½ box of Enjoy Life Rice Cereal, enough to cover bottom of shallow pan)
Chocolate Coating:
- 1 (10oz) bag Enjoy Life® semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons shortening (such as Spectrum)
Instructions
To make the Hobgoblins:
- Pour rice cereal into a shallow pan and set aside.
- Mix Sunbutter with the brown rice syrup. Mixture should stiffen upon mixing. Pinch off about ½ tablespoon of filling and form into a “pear” shape.
- Roll the pear shaped sunflower mixture into Perky’s Nutty Rice cereal, pressing the cereal in place. Reshape if needed. Set in refrigerator while making the chocolate coating.
To make the chocolate coating:
- Combine chocolate chips and shortening in a microwaveable container. Cook 30 seconds, stir. Continue until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Using a fork, dip the goblins (one at a time) into the melted chocolate. Make sure to carefully tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Place on parchment lined sheet.
- To give those creepy creatures some eyes, use a single rice puff for each eye. You can even give them eyeballs but putting a small drop of chocolate in the center of the rice puff. You could also use frosting to create eyes or even a mouth! Have fun and be creative.
- Let sit to harden. You can quicken the hardening by placing in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
