Ingredients
For the Treats
- 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1/4 cup butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
For Decorating
- 1 cup white candy melts mummies and ghosts
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips spider webs or ghosts
- 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons Candy eyes mummies
- 5 drops Liquid food coloring purple, orange, or black
Instructions
- Pour 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal into a large mixing bowl. Set aside. Lightly grease an 8x8-inch pan with nonstick spray or butter
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 1/4 cup butter. Once melted, add 4 cups mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth, about 3–5 minutes. Optional: Add purple, orange, or black food coloring at this stage to achieve a spooky hue.
- Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal. Stir with a rubber spatula until the cereal is evenly coated. If adding in sprinkles, fold them in at this stage.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared 8x8-inch pan. Using a piece of wax or parchment paper, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Be careful not to press too hard to keep the treats light and chewy.
- Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature, about 20–30 minutes. For faster cooling, place the pan in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes. Decorate with additional sprinkles, or other decorations as desired.

To Decorate
- Mummy Treats: Drizzle white candy melts in a crisscross pattern over the Rice Krispie squares. While the candy melt is still wet, place two candy eyes on each square for the mummy face.Ghost Faces: Spread melted white candy melts over the top of each square to create a ghostly base. Add two chocolate chips for eyes and one for the mouth.Spiderwebs: Melt dark or milk chocolate and drizzle it in a spiral pattern on top of the squares. Use a toothpick to drag lines outward from the center to create a spiderweb design.
