Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • 8 Pop Sticks
  • Piping Bags (amount depends on which Halloween rice Krispie treat you’ll make)
  • Kitchen Scissors

Ingredients

  • 8 Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats or another brand of choice
  • 2 10 oz Black and/or white candy melts (depending on which Halloween character you want to make)
  • 1 small bag Mini M&M’s and/or Candy eyeballs we will need the red M&M’s only
  • 1 pkg. Ghost Candy Decorations Optional – For ghost rice Krispies only.
  • Silver Disco Cake Dust Optional

Instructions

For the Spider Web:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  • Put the black candy melts into a microwave-safe dish such as a long mug or a large measuring cup. Heat according to the package directions or in 30-second intervals, stirring now and then until melted.  Stir until smooth.
  • Dip the tip of each pop stick into the melted candy and insert it into the center of the base of each Rice Krispie Treat until secured. Freeze them for at least 5 minutes.
  • Dip the Krispie Treats into the melted black candy. Spoon it over the treat to fully coat. Allow excess to drip back into the bowl or gently slide a metal spatula to remove excess.
  • Place the treats on the parchment paper, maintaining a space between each one. Place the eyes. Let the treats set, about 10 minutes.
  • In another microwave-safe dish, melt about 1 cup of the white candy melts (or white chocolate) and then stir until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag cut off the tip of the bag with scissors, and pipe over the set dipped treat. Sprinkle the disco dust on top and let them set again!

For the Ghost Rice Krispie Treats

  • Follow steps 1 to 5 for the spider web crispy treats, except for the eyes. Use the ghost candy decorations instead and set them on top of the Rice Krispie treats. Let set!

For the Mummy Rice Krispie Treats:

  • Follow steps 1 to 6 for the spider web, but use white candy melts instead for coating the treats and also for piping.
