Godzilla vs. ChocoGodzilla

I've been a fan of Godzilla my entire life. Since I did something special for Captain America for his new movie, how could I not do something special for Godzilla?...I mean...a Godzilla movie that actually looks good...

I was in Target for something completely different when I got the idea for this, and ended up leaving with $40 of stuff I didn't intend on buying. Typical Target, right?

Here's how I made a giant Godzilla out of Rice Krispy Treats

If you've never made Rice Krispy Treats like I hadn't, it's so easy a child can do it. And they do. Like...all the time. 

You need:

1/4 cup of butter (1/2 a stick)

11oz bag of mini marshmallows

6 cups of Rice Krispes

I doubled the recipe and used Cocoa Pebbles instead, so here are my ingredients:

1/2 cup of butter (full stick)

2 bags of mini marshmallows

Full box of Cocoa Pebbles

Green food coloring

Green frosting

Oreos

Mini Oreos

Toy Godzilla (to model, and to fight)

First, melt the butter

Once all the butter is melted, add the marshmallows. I added them one bag at a time so they all had a chance to melt.

Godzilla helped to melt them with his atomic breath

Once the marshmallows are melted, they need to heat for an additional two minutes, which was the perfect time to add the green food coloring

I kept adding it until it was green enough to my liking

After the marshmallows were melted and heated for two extra minutes, it's time to add the Cocoa Pebbles

Mix until all the cereal is well coated in marshmallow

Looks toxically delicious

It's like an alien egg or something

Uh oh, maybe it was...Godzilla is freaked out by it

It looks so cool though

Using the toy as a model, it's time to build this bad boy. Here are the legs

Jump ahead to when I already made the tail, torso, and arms, because my hands were really really really sticky and I didn't want to shoot a photo of them

Don't see the arms? Yeah, that's because the thing started falling apart faster than a Minnesota sports team on a playoff run. The rest was a race against time and gravity, especially once I made the head.

For the spikes on the back, I cut Oreos and Mini Oreos in half, and glued them in place using the green frosting.

I also used bamboo skewers to prop up the sagging head and body

I used bits of marshmallow for the eyes, teeth, and claws, and once I was ready to finish, I hurried to attach the arms and take the photos before the whole thing fell apart.

Jaw...falling...starting to look like...King Kong...

Here's a better view of the Oreo spines

Ben, get your hand out of the shot...stop fixing his tail...

Ah, crap! Now that he's fully assembled ChocoGodzilla is attacking the city! Godzilla! Stop him!

Atomic breath!

As usual, Godzilla is the victor

But seriously, this happened within 10 minutes of taking the photos. My cat Harvey tried attacking it because he thought it was moving on its own.

If you do this on your own, make sure you have refrigerator space to keep it cool so it doesn't fall apart so quickly.

It's okay, Godzilla, we forgive you for the debacle in 1998...as long as the new one is good...

See you next time!

And go see the new Godzilla movie, out today!
