Instructions
In a large sauce pan over low heat, add vegan butter and marshmallows.
Stir regularly for about 7–8 minutes, or until largely melted.
Add cereal to the sauce pan and stir until well combined.
Press mixture into a 9x9 pan until it's about 1-inch thick but no thinner or they will be too thin to pipe the faces on. Set aside to cool before cutting into 12 mice-size rectangles.
Meanwhile, make the mice ears. Using a piece of paper, sketch mice ears, place it on a cutting board, and cover with wax paper.
Heat chocolate chips (using microwave of double boiler) until melted.
Pour melted chocolate into a plastic bag, cut a tiny hole in the tip, and pipe the chocolate onto the wax paper to form your mice ears. Set in the freezer for 20 minutes until chocolate hardens.
While freezing, pipe the chocolate onto the rice krispies to form the mice eyes, nose, whiskers, and tails. Then pipe chocolate onto the "head" to attach the frozen ears. Work quickly when attaching the ears to prevent them from melting.
Allow to cool before enjoying or serving at a Halloween party!

Notes
If you'd prefer, you can melt the butter and marshmallows in a microwave instead of on the stove. To do so, in a glass bowl microwave for 30 second intervals, stirring between each, until marshmallows are fully melted. Then mix in cereal and stir until combined.
