Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 package (10 ounces) marshmallows
6 cups crispy rice cereal
cooking spray
Food coloring (optional) – I like this food coloring. It’s not as vibrant, but it contains plant-based dyes instead of artificial dyes.
sweet eyes
Various Halloween candies and sprinkles to decorate. Halloween candy corn and m&ms are also great add-ins
Instructions
Step 1: prepare the base
Start by melting 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a large pot over medium heat. She adds the marshmallows and stirs well until completely melted. If you’re feeling extra festive, add a few drops of food coloring to the mix. This gives your treats a Halloween-themed tone.
Add the crispy rice cereal until well coated. Feel free to add any sprinkles or sweets here too.
Step 2: Shape the treats
Press the mixture into a greased, parchment-lined pan. Use a spatula or your hands (sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking) to evenly spread and flatten the mixture.
Step 3: Decorate with creativity
Once the base has hardened, decorate your treats with candy eyes, sprinkles, and assorted Halloween candies. Feel free to experiment with different shapes and designs.
Step 4: Cut and Display
Let your treats cool completely before cutting them into your desired shapes. Arrange them on a Halloween-themed plate or wrap them individually in wax paper for easy sharing.
Step 6: Dive in and enjoy!
The best part of any recipe! Rice crispy treats also freeze well, so you can freeze them in a container, separating the layers with wax paper. Keep at room temperature for about an hour before serving.
