Mummy Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Introduction

These Mummy Rice Krispie Treats are a fun and festive twist on the classic marshmallow cereal snack. Easy to make and perfect for Halloween parties, they bring a playful spooky vibe that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 5 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (or one 10 oz. bag of mini marshmallows)
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 8 oz. white chocolate, melted or melting candy
• 20 candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
2. Step 2: Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until the mixture is evenly coated with the melted marshmallow.
3. Step 3: Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan using a buttered spatula or buttered wax paper to prevent sticking. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set.
4. Step 4: Once set, cut the treats into 10 rectangular pieces using a sharp knife.
5. Step 5: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl following the package instructions.
6. Step 6: Dab a small amount of melted white chocolate on the back of each candy eyeball and place one eye onto each Rice Krispie treat to create the mummy face.
7. Step 7: Transfer the melted white chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut a tiny slit in one corner. Drizzle the chocolate in random patterns over the treats to mimic mummy wrappings.
8. Step 8: Let the chocolate harden at room temperature or place the treats in the refrigerator to set more quickly before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use mini chocolate chips as an alternative to candy eyeballs if preferred.
• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the melted marshmallows before mixing in the cereal.
• Try food coloring the white chocolate to create colorful mummy wrappings.
• Press the mixture firmly into the pan to help the treats hold their shape better when cutting.

Storage

Store the mummy treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. To keep them fresh longer, refrigerate for up to one week. If stored in the fridge, let them come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Notes

• Use buttered utensils or wax paper to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
• For a fun variation, try using colored candy melts instead of white chocolate for vibrant mummy wraps.
