Expert Tips

Just a small amount of paste food color produces an intense, deep color. Look for paste food color at baking supply stores or near the cake decorating supplies at craft stores.

To make Jack-o'-Lantern Pops for a party, form cereal mixture disks around flat wood sticks with round ends, shaping flattening and decorating them as directed in the recipe. To give pops as favors, seal each in plastic wrap tied around the stick with an orange and black ribbon.
