Ingredients

With a few simple ingredients you likely have in your pantry, you can create an easy Halloween dessert to serve your kiddos, or they make great Halloween food.

Salted Butter - an excellent balance to the sweet marshmallows. 
Mini Marshmallows - you can use an equal weight of large marshmallows in the recipe, but they’ll take longer to melt.
Pure Vanilla Extract - an optional ingredient.
Rice Krispie Cereal - the main ingredient in this recipe. 
White chocolate - or white candy melts.
Candy Googly Eyes - found in the baking aisle in most grocery stores.

Gluten-free version

If you want to create gluten-free Halloween Mummy Rice Krispies treats, ensure your chocolate and candy eyes don’t contain gluten. 

Also, classic Kellogg’s Rice Krispies are not gluten-free (they contain malt flavoring derived from barley). However, you can find other crispy rice cereals that are, such as Nature’s Path.

How to make - step-by-step instructions

First, let's make a pan of Rice Krispie treats. 

1.) LINE PAN WITH PARCHMENT PAPER

Line your 9” x 9” or 9” x 13” pan with parchment paper. Make sure you leave a 1-2 inch overhang to make removing the treats easy. Alternatively, you can spray your pan with non-tick cooking spray.

You can also measure the remaining ingredients since this recipe comes together quickly.

2.)  MELT BUTTER and then MARSHMALLOWS

Next, in a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Now, add all the marshmallows, continually stirring, just until the marshmallows are melted.

If using vanilla extract, add it now to the melted mixture and mix well.

3.) ADD RICE KRISPIES

Remove the pan from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Quickly but gently fold the mixture to coat evenly. 

4.) PLACE IN PAN

Spread mixture into prepared baking pan. Using a spatula coated with non-stick cooking spray, gently press and spread the mixture evenly to all corners of the pan.

Pro Tip: Spray your spatula with non-stick cooking spray to help spread with Rice Krispies.

5.) LET SIT

Now, let the mixture sit for 30-60 minutes to harden before slicing it into rectangles. 

Pro Tip: for sturdy bars, wait for 2 hours. 

6.) CUT RECTANGLE PIECES

Remove your Rice Krispie Treats from the pan using parchment paper. Cut into rectangular pieces. (18 or 24 pieces depending on how big you want your mummy treats.)

Pro Tip: we recommend using a knife that you run under hot water for a few seconds to cut the treats easily. 

7.) MELT CHOCOLATE

Now, take your white chocolate or candy melts and place them in a microwave-safe bowl to melt them. 

Cook candy melts according to the package directions. If using white chocolate morsels, melt at 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is mostly melted. Stir until all lumps dissolve.

8.) ADD CHOCOLATE BANDAGES 

Next, place melted chocolate in a plastic zipper bag or piping bag. Snip a corner of the bag off and drizzle white chocolate back and forth over Rice Krispie Treats. 

Finally, add googly eyes to each mummy treat. 

Let them sit for 60 minutes to set or overnight, then eat and enjoy!

How long do Rice Krispies treats keep?

You can keep your Halloween Rice Krispies treats in an airtight container (or plastic bag) at room temperature for up to 7 days.

Pro Tip: So they don’t stick together, we like to put a layer of parchment paper between them.

Tips & tricks

• Use fresh, good-quality marshmallows. If your marshmallows are old, they may not melt well in this recipe.
• Cook marshmallows over medium-low heat. If you cook the recipe over high heat, there is a good chance the sugar will crystalize, turning your Halloween treats hard.
• Gently fold the Rice Krispie Cereal into marshmallows. The cereal is delicate and, if mixed harshly, gets crushed.
• Speed up the cooling process by placing the treats in the refrigerator. Putting the mummy goodies in the fridge for a few minutes will help them cool faster, so you can add their white chocolate “bandages” sooner.
• If you can't find candy eyeballs, use mini chocolate chips.

Pro Tip: For ease and convenience, package your Mummy Treats in plastic bags for your Halloween party!
