Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 10 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.25 teaspoons orange gel food coloring
- 0.25 teaspoons black gel food coloring
- 0.25 teaspoons green gel food coloring
- 24 pieces candy eyeballs
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoons water
Instructions
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with non-stick spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large pot, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once melted, stir in the mini marshmallows, reserving 1 cup for later use. Continuously stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Remove the pot from heat and divide the melted marshmallow mixture into three separate bowls.
In each bowl, add a small amount of gel food coloring (orange for pumpkins, black for bats, and green for monsters). Mix each batch until the color is evenly distributed.
Divide the crispy rice cereal into three equal portions and mix one portion into each bowl of colored marshmallows until fully incorporated.
Lightly coat your hands with non-stick spray and shape each colored mixture into spooky shapes, such as pumpkins, bats, and monster blobs. Work quickly, as the mixture firms up as it cools.
While the shapes are still slightly sticky, press candy eyeballs into the treats to give them a creepy personality.
In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with a tablespoon of water to create a thick icing. Use this to add details like mouths, fangs, or drips of ‘slime’ to your Kreepy Krispies Treats.
Allow the treats to set for about 15 minutes before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
