Methinks I'll never know.
We had a little Halloween luncheon at work on Friday, and I spent the entire week debating what to take. Since I like to spend at least six hours on a given post (I kid, I kid...I really kid), I have to show you what I came up with a couple days after the fact.
(my poor excuse for a costume)
I'll be the first to admit that I'm one of the least creative people
Yep. Rice Krispies treats. Whoever came up with the first batch of these puppies deserves a monument in her honor, wouldn't you say? It's a real gem of a recipe.
(Meanwhile, have you seen the massive sheets they've created? They're for the real lover of Rice Krispies treats, like my pal James.)(Miss you, James.)
Anyway, some I decorated like eyeballs with a chocolate-covered blueberry in the middle, and others I molded into logs with an almond on the end and designed to look like a finger.
You've probably seen the cookie versions of these, so clearly they're not an original thought. Frankly, I'm just proud of myself for breaking out the decorating gels and actually personalizing them.
Hope you all had wonderful Halloween celebrations!

They make them in sheets now?! Oh, thank goodness I've yet to find those!
LOL @ the non-costume...you're clever and I think you should get off the picket line!
Me luvs rice crispies treats, still snack on them.
Rice Krispies treats are still a favourite around here...they don't last a day:D
these are just adorable! i love rice krispie treats! and i agree. the original inventor of this recipe should probably have a whole park of monuments!
Halloween is all about the decorating! The actual treat is secondary :)
So, I'd say you scored pretty high on this one. They look great!
Love the rice crispy treat creations - they look great!!! as far as the costume... There is always next year.. (mine looked just like yours)
somedays we are more creative than others & I think your ideas for the rice crispy treats are great!
Great costume and the rice krispy treats look like the perfect goodie!
Must agree the costume is great! Rice Krispy treats in sheets, what a wonderful idea!! (hope they're in my neck of the woods, haven't seen them yet)
I love rice crispy treats too! Never had them with extra stuff on top, but I like the idea. Your fingernail and eyeball decorations look like they add a delicious extra crunchy.
Grace, you're too hard on yourself! You're very creative! Who else would put squash in muffins or host a week of cold foods at her blog during the hot summer?
I would be lying BIG TIME if I told you I didn't burst out laughing at work when I saw that first picture.
What a fantastic costume. HA!
Actually, I find the "costume" pretty hilarious! As for the food, who doesn't love a good rice krispy treat finger and eyeball?!
Grace- love the costume! Very creative, even though you say you are not. I also like the treats, too cute. Sounds like you had fun.
My son had the same costume at school on Friday. Everyone laugh.
Give yourself some credit - both costume and treats were exceptionally creative in my book. Sometimes less is more, you know?
Really, I thought your costume I idea was great. I wish I remembered to tell people that's what I was when I took Babygirl trick or treating! As far as your treats go they were but a bump in the road. C'mon you're awesome! Think of the yummies you're created and with "throw away" ingredients.

Oh, gosh. I'm falling off my chair. And you think that's not creative? Woman!! :)
i love your costume... damn how do you stay so skinny with all thise sweet treats you make?
in sheets? holy sh**, that could be dangerous.
girl how do you stay so skinny with all this baking?
Don't be silly-that rick krispy treat eyeball is fantastic! Love it!
Not that I'm not wild about Rice Krispy Treats (because I am), but I find myself wondering if a nudist really were on strike...what would they be striking about?
This sounds like a question for that book series, "What If?"
The genius is in the delivery, I say, and you certainly have the delivery! :D
Hey I think those eyeballs look pretty darn freaky and pretty good as well! At least you brought something... and had fun with it! I'd eat one :)
OMG I've never seen the sheets, wow, now I'm on the lookout. These were awesome and I will add them to my arsenal for next year!
Hehe. Love it!
Love your costume! Cool cookies :)
Now that is my kind of costume!! Ugh, I am hopelessly addicted to rice krispy treats!
Very creative.. I love it.
very clever costume! And the rice crispy treats are cute , Grace!
Oh you're creative...just look at that clever costume you came up with!!
Oh yes, your awesome!! I'm all about the sheets!!! Great idea LA
Grace, please, admit you don't eat the muffins you bake :) Love the costume!
Too funny! I love the decorating gel touches. And that eye is quite festive. I bet no one turned up their noses.
I love rice krispies treats too. Yours look like the ones I make, high marshmallow ratio! Your costume is actually quite creative, I didn't even wear one! :)
Yayy to the costume - just look at how versatile that one is.
Love the costume!!!
What great ideas for rice crispie treats!! We love them at our house too. I make them atleast once a week.
That's very creative, and very kid-friendly!
I think they are cute, creepy and fun. Great costume!
BRILLIANT costume, just sheer brilliance.
And come ON, at least you got in the spirit of things! I totally "got" that eyeball thingy immediately upon seeing it. Totally creative.
Love the eyeball and Bless rice krispy treats!
LOVE the costume! May have to steal that idea sometime:) treats look great too!
Were there plenty of gents disappointed that you proclaimed yourself "on strike"? I think your costume's a hoot!
I don’t think I could be friends with anyone who disliked Rice Krispie Treats! They are always welcome no matter what kind of party you are going to, young or old.
Great looking treats! Rice krispy treats look great!
Grace you did a better job than I would have with the rice krispies!
I think the Rice Krispie shapes are fab - as is the "costume". Way to go!
Brilliant costume!!
Love the rice krispie treats

Nice costume! And great job with the treats. I would've just made them in a sheet pan and been done with it. Very creative.
