How to Make Rice Krispie Treats for Halloween
Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start making your Halloween rice krispie treats, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. You will need rice cereal, marshmallows, butter, and some food coloring of your choice. You can also add in some candy eyeballs, sprinkles, and other festive decorations to make your treats extra spooky.
Melt and Color the Marshmallows
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and combined with the butter. If you want to add some color to your treats, now is the time to mix in your desired food coloring. For Halloween, you can use orange, purple, or green to give your treats a festive twist.
Add the Rice Cereal
Once the marshmallow mixture is fully combined and colored, remove the pot from the heat and add in the rice cereal. Stir until all the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture. You can also add in any extra decorations at this point, like candy eyeballs or sprinkles, and mix them in with the cereal.
Press into a Pan and Let Cool
Grease a 9x13 inch pan with some butter or line it with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press it down evenly with a spatula or your hands. Let the treats cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting them into spooky shapes with cookie cutters.
Get Creative with Decorations
Once your treats are cooled and cut, it's time to get creative with your decorations. You can use icing to draw on some spiderwebs or ghost faces, or add some candy corn on top for a festive touch. The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to let your imagination run wild.
Now that you have your spooky rice krispie treats, it's time to enjoy them with your loved ones. These treats are sure to be a hit at any Halloween party or simply as a fun activity to do with your family.
