Pumpkins, ghosts, mummies, monsters and witches are fine, but let's not forget the ghouls and goblins on Halloween. A box of food coloring and some edible eyes turn crispy rice cereal treats into spooky snacks.
To make black food coloring, combine equal amounts of yellow, blue and red. To make purple food coloring, combine 3 red to 1 purple until desired shade is achieved.
