Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick cooking spray, and set aside.

In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat.

Add the marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly.

Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from heat, and stir in the cereal until well-coated.

Using a rubber spatula (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray), transfer the cereal mixture into the prepared pan, and press down firmly and evenly.

Allow the Rice Krispies to cool in the pan completely before the assembly process.

With a jumbo circle cookie cutter, cut out 4-5 jumbo circles from your prepared Rice Krispies treats.

Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl, microwave the shortening for 40 seconds or until melted.

Add the yellow chocolate melts, and stir until completely melted.

Spread the melted yellow chocolate on top of each Rice Krispie circle, and place on the lined baking sheet for at least 30 minutes to “set.”

Meanwhile, cut off the bottom of a Nilla Wafer cookie and dip into the melted yellow chocolate. Firmly press the cookie into the upper top side of the tiger head to resemble an ear. Hold in place for 15 seconds. Repeat on the other side with another cookie. (If the leftover melted yellow chocolate begins to harden, microwave in five second intervals until melted again.) Optional: Sprinkle yellow sprinkles on the ears before the yellow chocolate dries.

Repeat step 6 on all of the Rice Krispies tiger heads.

With the black write-on gel, pipe the eyes, nose, and mouth on each tiger face.

To make the spots, gently press Sprees candies pieces onto the face, alternating colors.

ENJOY!
