The Treats Disappearing Faster Than Candy!

It is satisfying to Halloween, so turning regular treats (hi Halloween popcorn) into something spooky and cute is one of a reliable parts of October.

A few years ago I made Pumpkin and Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats, and they were such a hit that I knew I needed to come up with more.

So I went a little overboard this time and made eight different designs!

I started with a reliable from-scratch Rice Krispies Treats recipe. Simply leave off the white chocolate and sprinkle topping, then use the decorations outlined in the recipe below instead. Or, if you want to switch things up, try one of these fun flavor variations as the Rice Krispies Treat base: Peanut butter Rice Krispie Treats, Scotcheroos, Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats, or Fruity Pebble Rice Krispie Treats.

Then I pulled out chocolate, candy eyes, Oreos, Reese’s Cups, and sprinkles and started playing around. Some of the designs ended up being incredibly simple, like the ghosts and mummies, while others, like the witches and bats, have a few extra details.

My kids could not stop grabbing them as I finished decorating. And honestly, I couldn’t blame them.

The best part is you definitely don’t need to make all eight. Pick your favorite, make a couple of different designs, or set everything out and let everyone decorate their own.

Quick Tip

Each Halloween Rice Krispies Treat “recipe” can be scaled up or down. Note that the amount of chocolate will vary on the size of the treat and how much chocolate is coating the treat. It is worth having extra chocolate on hand just in case!
