Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • * 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • * 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • * 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • * Orange food coloring optional
  • * Halloween sprinkles
  • * Candy eyes optional
  • * Halloween candies or candy melts for decorating

Method
 

  1. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat.
  3. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  4. If desired, mix in a few drops of orange food coloring until evenly combined.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the crispy rice cereal until fully coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and gently press it into an even layer.
  7. Decorate with Halloween sprinkles, candy eyes, and other festive toppings while the mixture is still warm.
  8. Allow the treats to cool and set for 30 to 60 minutes.
  9. Cut into squares and serve.

Notes

* Avoid pressing the mixture too firmly into the pan to keep the treats soft and chewy.
* Grease your spatula or hands lightly to prevent sticking.
* Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
* Add melted chocolate or colored candy melts for extra Halloween flair.
