In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows; stir until completely melted and combined with the butter. Remove from heat; add several drops of yellow food coloring; mix; add red food coloring,1 drop at a time, mixing as you go. Add red/yellow drops until desired color is reached, about 4 drops of red and 12 drops of yellow. Mix.
Add Rice Krispies; stir to combine.
Pour the cooking oil into a small bowl; coat both sides of your hands with a generous amount of the oil; roll the cereal mixture into small balls; place on parchment paper, adding oil to your hands after each ball.
While cereal balls are still warm, gently press a mini Rolo candy into the top of each pumpkin for the stem; add a green M&M on its side next to it for the leaf. If the pumpkins cool before you're finished, use the end of a thick marker or apple corer to make a small indentation in the top for the chocolate to sit in.
Cool until firm.
Serve.
12 servings.
