Create fun and festive Halloween-themed Rice Krispie treats. This recipe focuses on keeping them soft and provides ideas for shaping them into pumpkins, ghosts, and monsters using simple decorations like candy eyes and food coloring.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 package (10 oz, about 40) marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • Green and orange food coloring (optional)
  • Candy eyes, sprinkles, or other edible decorations

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
  2. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. If coloring, divide the mixture into bowls and add food coloring to each, mixing well.
  5. Add Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until well coated.
  6. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch pan or wax paper with butter or cooking spray.
  7. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan. For shapes, you can press onto wax paper and cut or shape while warm.
  8. Decorate with candy eyes, sprinkles, or other Halloween-themed decorations while the treats are still slightly warm.
  9. Let cool completely before cutting into squares or desired shapes.

Notes

  • To keep treats soft, ensure you do not overcook the marshmallows.
  • Lightly grease your hands or a spatula with butter or cooking spray when pressing the mixture to prevent sticking.
  • For pumpkin shapes, press into a round pan or shape into balls and add a small piece of candy or pretzel for a stem.
  • For ghost shapes, use a ghost cookie cutter or shape by hand. Add candy eyes.
  • For monster shapes, use various food colorings and add candy eyes or sprinkles for features.
  • Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
