Halloween Rice Krispies treats are an easy Halloween party food that can be made in 4 different ways! Simple instructions for making delicious Halloween treats.
INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED Butter – We typically use unsalted, but in a pinch, salted will work OK. Marshmallows – You can use either the small ones or the regular sized ones. Rice Krispies – We typically get the name brand stuff because it tastes better, but the store brand will work too. And for some change in flavor, you could use Cocoa Krispies or other varieties. Just keep in mind, if you want to color the treats, darker Krispies won’t work as well. Candy Melts – You can choose your preferred color for these because monsters really have no limits on creativity. For the designs below you’ll need white, orange, and green. Other candy – We used candy eyes, chocolate chips, M&M’s, and mini Reese’s cups to create the 4 designs below but you can use anything you like!
