Instructions
Add the chocolate chips and oil into a measuring cup with a pouring spout (makes it much easier) and microwave at 30 second intervals a few times, stirring in between each session, until almost all melted. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons only of the cereal. (The remaining 2 tablespoons are for the tops.)
Spray the ice cube tray lightly with non-stick spray. Pour the chocolate carefully about two-third's full into 12 molds. Depending on the size of your ice cube tray molds, you may make more. The deeper mold trays work best. When pouring the chocolate into the molds, it helps to guide it with a spoon.
Add the remaining cereal on top, slightly pressing into the chocolate so it will stick once hardened. Use more cereal than the recipe calls for, if necessary. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, only.
Next, flip over the tray and tap or press into the molds and the chocolates should slide right out. Write spooky "Rip" if desired, or leave plain. The non-stick spray serves 2 purposes, easy removal and once it dries, it creates a rusty tombstone effect. :)
Next, insert the toothpicks on top of the chocolates.
