Method
- Line a baking tray with nonstick baking paper. Put the marshmallows and butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. Leave to melt, stirring occasionally.
- Tip the cereal into a large bowl. Pour over the melted marshmallows and stir to combine – the mixture will be very sticky, but keep going until well mixed. Pour a little sunflower oil onto a plate and dip your hands in it. Shape the mixture into 8 oval brains; and put them on the prepared tray, re-greasing your hands as necessary.
- Dip the handle of a teaspoon in oil, then press down along the centre of each cluster, creating a groove.
- Using the red icing, drizzle or pipe squiggly lines all over the brains to represent blood vessels. Leave to set for at least 4 hours or until firm.
