Today I have a fun version of Frankenstein Treat Graham Crackers for you! When I searched for Frankenstein treats all that came up were ones made with cereal treats. Now, I have nothing against Rice Krispy Treats other than the fact that my kid doesn’t really like them.
Here is another fun and pretty easy treat to make, and it brings a whimsical touch to snack time or the classroom Halloween Party! They are also fun treats that are a little healthier for Halloween Food than something like a Frankenstein Cupcake or even crispy treats that are laden with all those mini marshmallows. Granted it isn’t the most healthy Halloween treat, but it is an easy recipe with simple ingredients to make your monster treats.
If you are looking for Frankenstein Brownies – you can easily follow the same instructions for decorating these graham cracker squares. It would even work for topping that rice krispies mixture. That is if you have the time to make homemade rice krispie treats.
I wonder if Mary Shelley could have possibly envisioned this when she wrote the Gothic novel Frankenstein all those years ago. Frankenstein’s monster has been everywhere from black and white movies with Abbot and Costello to Halloween cereal. Just think about it – she wrote that incredible science fiction in 1818 – over 200 years ago and today? I am talking about themed treats to work around her character. What fun ways to give a nod to an incredible author.
To sum it up nicely – Wikipedia says:
Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus is an 1818 novel written by English author Mary Shelley. Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a sapientcreature in an unorthodox scientific experiment. Shelley started writing the story when she was 18, and the first edition was published anonymously in London on 1 January 1818, when she was 20. Her name first appeared in the second edition, which was published in Paris in 1821.
