How to make Halloween Rice Krispie Treats…

Rice Krispie Treats are one of the easiest treats you can make! They’re no bake and take less than 15 minutes to come together. Truly the best!

Start by melting the butter on the stove.
Next add in the marshmallows and vanilla extract. Melt until combined evenly.
Remove from the heat and add in the Rice Krispies Cereal.
Mix until just combined.
Add the Rice Krispie mixture to a parchment paper lined 8×8 baking dish.
Softly pat down the Rice Krispie mixture with your fingers. Do not press firmly!
Sprinkle with festive halloween sprinkles and then let set for 1 hour.
Once the Rice Krispie Treats are set, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together. You can do this in the microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring in between each one.
Drizzle the treats with the melted chocolate and add more sprinkles on top.
Cut into squares & enjoy!

Chocolate Drizzle Rice Krispie Treats tips…

Follow the tips below for the perfect Halloween Rice Krispie Treats each and every time!

Pat down softly! Once you transfer the Rice Krispie mixture to the baking dish pat down very softly with your fingers. If you press down firmly the treats will become more compact, making them less oeey-gooey and harder to eat.
Wet your fingers! Wetting your fingers before patting down the treats will make the process much easier. It helps to prevent sticking.
Do not refrigerate! When you are letting the Rice Krispie Treats set do not refrigerate. Simply keep at room temperature.
Let sit before cutting! I know its hard to wait that hour before cutting into these delicious treats, but I highly recommend you do. This makes both cutting into and enjoying them easier.
Work quickly! Now you don’t have to rush when making these treats, but you should move a little quickly. Once melted the marshmallows due tend to harden up so make sure to mix in the Rice Krispie Cereal right away.

What sprinkles should I use for Halloween Rice Krispie Treats?

You can use any festive Halloween sprinkles of your choice!

Here are the exact sprinkles I used. They’re just simple sprinkles in the classic halloween colors … white, orange, purple, and brown! If you want even more spooky & festive sprinkles check out these. They’ve got ghost, pumpkins, and googly eyes mixed in too!

Can I add extra mix-ins to this recipe?

Of course! Here are some mix-in and swap ideas…

Add chocolate chips, whole mini marshmallows, or candy into Halloween Rice Krispie Treats! M&Ms or candy corn are great options. Any or all would add delicious flavor & more texture to these treats.

If you’re a real chocolate lover … dip your treats in chocolate in place of the drizzle.
