Candy Corn Krispies Treats Recipe

Ingredients:
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
10 oz bag marshmallows
3 Tbsp butter, softened
1 bag orange candy melts
1 bag yellow candy melts
Orange sugar sprinkles

Pull out a 9×9 baking dish and grease it with butter. I find it easiest to use a glass or ceramic pan for Rice Krispies treats because of the rounded bottom, but you should be fine to use anything that you have.

In a large microwave safe bowl, heat your marshmallows and butter for 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows start to grow. Remove your bowl from the microwave and stir them together.

Mix your cereal into the bowl with your melted marshmallows and stir well to incorporate.

Press your Rice Krispies mixture evenly into bottom of your greased pan and set it in the fridge for a few hours to harden.

Cut your pan of Rice Krispies into triangles (cut down the center, then cut each section in a zigzag pattern). You can make a bunch of smaller triangles or eight larger triangles.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt one cup of yellow candy melts. Place the bowl in the microwave for 3-4 minutes on 50 percent power, stirring every 30 seconds until they are melted.

While holding the top point of each triangle in your hand, dip 3/4 of your Rice Krispies triangles into your melted yellow chocolate. After dipping, set each triangle on a piece of parchment paper to harden.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt one cup of orange candy melts. Place the bowl in the microwave for 3-4 minutes on 50 percent power, stirring every 30 seconds until they are melted.

Making sure that the yellow has hardened, hold the point of each triangle again and dip the bottom 1/4 into the melted orange chocolate. You will be covering some of the yellow with the orange.

Top the orange candy (while still wet) with orange sprinkles.

Set your Candy Corn Krispie Treats triangles in the fridge for about 15 minutes and enjoy!
