Indian Corn Autumn Treats

Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over low heat.  Add marshmallows; stir until melted and smooth.  Tint with food coloring until desired shade is obtained. Add cereal and 1/2 cup chocolate candies; stir until evenly coated.  Remove from heat.

With lightly buttered hands, quickly divide mixture into 10 oblong portions.  Push a popsicle stick halfway into each portion; shape into an ear of corn.  Place on prepared baking sheet.  Press remaining 1/2 cup chocolate candies into each ear.  Let treats stand until set.

Tie raffia or ribbon to popsicle sticks to resemble corn husks.
