Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients: 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, 1 package (10 oz) of marshmallows, 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal, 1 cup of candy corn, and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips.
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by greasing it lightly with butter or spraying it with non-stick cooking spray. This will help prevent the Rice Krispy treats from sticking.
- In a large saucepan, melt the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn’t burn.
- Once the butter is melted, add the 10 oz package of marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Add the 1 cup of candy corn and 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the mixture. Stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the Rice Krispies mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands (lightly buttered to prevent sticking) to press the mixture evenly into the dish. Make sure it is compact but not overly squished.
- Allow the Rice Krispy treats to cool at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes, or until they are set and firm.
- Once cooled, cut the treats into squares or rectangles using a sharp knife. You can also use cookie cutters to create Halloween-themed shapes if desired.
- Serve the Halloween Rice Krispy Treats on a platter and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Tips
- • Use fresh marshmallows for the smoothest, most gooey texture • Butter your spatula or hands to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture • For extra Halloween flair, use orange food coloring in the marshmallow mixture • Create fun shapes using Halloween-themed cookie cutters • Let treats cool completely before cutting for clean, crisp edges • Store in an airtight container to maintain maximum freshness and chewiness • For a more decorative touch, drizzle melted chocolate or add Halloween sprinkles on top
