Expert Tips

To prevent the mixture from sticking to your fingers, dip your fingers in water or coat your fingers with butter or cooking spray.

The cereal mixture sets up very quickly, so be sure to have licorice cut and candy ready before cereal has been coated.

I didn't make them into globlins, but I made this a while ago with the kix and ever since I've started making my rice krispy treats the same way! Everybody loves the fact they don't have to cut their treats, thereby maximizing their treat without all of the "krispy dust." Definitely tasty with the kix if you like a little less sweetness.

the picture of these is super cute. I followed the recipe EXACTLY 3 times in order to 36 globlins--only 12 survived. As the globlin was setting up it started to fall apart. I re-formed a few and went to bed for them to harden completely. Well, this morning there are cereal puddles all over the counter. I am very disappointed. Wonder what happened? Bad batch of marshmallows?
