Create fun and spooky Halloween Rice Krispie Treats with this easy no-bake recipe. Perfect for parties and a delight for kids, these treats can be decorated as mummies, ghosts, or spiderwebs.
Ingredients
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup white candy melts (for mummies and ghosts)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for spider webs or ghosts)
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons candy eyes (for mummies)
- 5 drops liquid food coloring (purple, orange, or black)
Instructions
- Pour 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch pan.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add 4 cups mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth. Optional: Add food coloring for a spooky hue.
- Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Stir until evenly coated. Fold in sprinkles if using.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Press evenly using wax or parchment paper.
- Allow treats to cool completely for 20-30 minutes, or chill for 5 minutes for faster cooling.
- Decorate as desired. For mummy treats, drizzle white candy melts and add candy eyes. For ghost faces, spread melted white candy melts, add chocolate chips for eyes and mouth. For spiderwebs, melt chocolate, drizzle in a spiral, and drag lines outward with a toothpick.
Notes
- For faster cooling, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
- Be careful not to press the mixture too hard in the pan to keep the treats light and chewy.
