Halloween is such a fun holiday to celebrate. Being silly and using your imagination is what it is all about. The same goes for the food. If you are having a Halloween party or going to one, easy Halloween treats are the thing.
Always looking for a new way to celebrate a favorite holiday, these fun Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are both easy and delicious. They are a classic rice cereal treats recipe, but with a festive fall update. A deliciously sweet Halloween treat that will fit perfectly on a dessert table.
A great dessert, these are the perfect Halloween snacks to bring with you to a party or prepare a day ahead of time for your own. With only six ingredients, including your orange and yellow candy melts, this simple dessert is a fun one that the kids can make as well!
While this process takes around an hour and a half, most of the time is spent waiting for things to set. Your actual work time on these is minimal, so don’t worry too much! Make sure that you have access to a nice work area, a microwave, and a fridge and you should be good to go.
Be sure to use regular Rice Krispies cereal so that you get the right color combination. Using strawberry or cocoa won’t give you the pale color that you need for the point of these fun Halloween treats.
These sweet treats can sit at room temperature all through your gathering.
Serve these on a plate surrounded by regular candy corn candies for fun.
You should be able to find candy melts in the baking aisle at your local grocery store or online.
You can turn these into a great vegetarian dessert by using vegan marshmallows in the place of regular marshmallows.
How To Make Candy Corn Krispies Treats Recipe:
Candy Corn Krispie Treats Ingredients:
4 cups Rice Krispies cereal 10 oz bag mini marshmallows 3 Tbsp butter, softened 1 bag orange candy melts 1 bag yellow candy melts Orange sugar sprinkles
Supplies Needed:
9×9-inch baking dish Large microwave-safe bowl Mixing spoon 2 small bowls Parchment paper or wax paper
Directions:
Step 1: Pull out a 9×9 baking dish and grease it with butter or nonstick cooking spray. I find it easiest to use a glass or ceramic cake pan for Rice Krispies treats because of the rounded bottom, but you should be fine to use any baking pan that you have.
Step 2: In a large microwave-safe bowl, heat your marshmallows and butter for 1-2 minutes (in 30 second intervals) until the marshmallows start to grow. Remove your bowl from the microwave and stir them together.
If you’d prefer not to use the microwave method, melt your marshmallows and butter over low heat on the stove in a large saucepan, stirring with a greased spatula or wooden spoon.
Step 3: Once your marshmallows are ready, mix your crispy rice cereal into the large bowl with your melted marshmallows and butter mixture, and stir well to incorporate.
Step 4: Press your marshmallow mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan and set it in the fridge for a few hours to harden.
Step 5: Cut your pan of crispy treats 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.
Step 6: 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.
Step 7: 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 or wax paper to harden.
Step 8: 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.
Step 9: Making sure that the yellow layer 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.
Step 10: Top the orange layer (while still wet) with orange sprinkles.
Step 11: Set your Candy Corn Krispie Treats triangles in the fridge for about 15 minutes and enjoy!
How To Store Leftover Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats
Store any leftover candy corn treats in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap on the counter for up to 2 days.
Can I Use Different Kinds Of Chocolate For This Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Recipe?
You can. I highly suggest using candy melts for these fun treats because they dry very smoothly and have a great texture. That said, if you don’t have access to Wilton candy melts or different brands at your grocery stores or online, you could use white chocolate chips and different colors of food coloring.
If you have a little bit of orange coloring and yellow coloring (the krispie treats are your white layer), you can melt the chocolate chips, add your colors, and follow the instructions above. Just remember that melted chocolate chips will have a grittier texture when it dries.
Halloween recipes are some of the most fun to create and these Candy Corn Krispies Treats are no different. An easy dessert, they look really festive when you're done!
