Melt the butter on low heat in a large saucepan or in the microwave.

Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted or you can melt in the microwave in 30 second increments.

Remove from heat and add 4 drops of the yellow food coloring and 2 drops of the red food coloring. Stir until the marshmallow mixture is the orange,

Gradually add in the rice krispies cereal. Mix until completely coated.

Spread evenly into a large pan to cool slightly. We poured ours onto a jelly roll pan.

Allow the mixture to cool for at least 30 minutes. Do not refrigerate as it will cause the rice krispies to be too hard.

After this cooling time, form the rice krispies into small balls that are approximately 2 inches in diameter.

Press the tootsie roll pieces into the center of the balls to form the pumpkin shape.

Create the pumpkin leaves by cutting the green fruit roll ups. I cut the fruit roll-ups into square and then cut them diagonally to form small triangles. Place them on the pumpkin rice krispies next to the tootsie roll stems.

Allow the pumpkins to cool completely and then enjoy!
