Instructions

  1. Lightly coat a baking sheet with non-stick spray. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in green food coloring and 2 cups mini marshmallows. Cook until marshmallows are melted, then turn off heat and add 2 cups Rice Krispies, stirring until combined.

  2. Meanwhile, in another saucepan over medium heat, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter. Stir in orange food coloring and remaining 4 cups marshmallows. Cook until marshmallows are melted, then turn off heat and add 4 cups Rice Krispies, stirring until combined.

  3. Using slightly dampened hands, press mixtures into pan, alternating to create three thin horizontal stripes of green and larger horizontal stripes of orange.

  4. Use a 2. 5" pumpkin cookie cutter to stamp out shapes. Make eyes with candy corn and mouths using melted chocolate.

Why this Jack-o'-Lantern Rice Krispies works for PCOS

Lunch is where most PCOS meal plans either succeed or collapse. A meal like this Jack-o'-Lantern Rice Krispies that combines adequate protein, fibre-rich carbs, and fat keeps blood sugar stable for the rest of the workday and reduces the late-afternoon energy crash that drives sugar cravings around 3-4pm.
