Ingredients

Units Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
  • 1 bag (10 ounces) jumbo marshmallows
  • 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup small marshmallows

Decorations

  • 12 paper straws
  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
  • Halloween-themed sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare a Workspace: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides to make removal easier later.
  2. Brown the Butter: In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Continue cooking and stirring frequently until the butter turns golden brown and emits a nutty aroma. Take care to avoid burning it, then remove from heat.
  3. Melt the Jumbo Marshmallows: Add the jumbo marshmallows to the browned butter in the saucepan. Return the pan to low heat and stir continuously until the marshmallows have melted completely into a smooth mixture.
  4. Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the pan from heat and quickly stir in the 8 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Mix thoroughly to evenly coat all the cereal with the marshmallow mixture.
  5. Add Small Marshmallows: Gently fold in the 1 cup of small marshmallows to create delightful pockets of gooey marshmallow within the treats.
  6. Press into Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula or buttered hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan without compressing it too much, ensuring cohesive treats.
  7. Set and Cut: Allow the mixture to cool and set for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up, which will make cutting easier. Then cut into squares.
  8. Insert Straws: Insert one paper straw into the bottom edge of each square, serving as convenient and festive handles for your treats.
  9. Chocolate Drizzle: Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the tops of the Rice Krispie treats.
  10. Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate drizzle is still wet, immediately sprinkle on Halloween-themed sprinkles to decorate and add a fun festive touch.
  11. Final Set and Enjoy: Allow the chocolate drizzle to set fully for about 15-20 minutes. Once set, your Halloween Rice Krispie Treats are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Be careful when browning butter: watch closely as it can quickly go from browned to burnt.
  • Press the mixture firmly but do not compact it too much to keep treats light and crispy.
  • Use parchment paper overhang to easily lift the treats from the pan for cutting.
  • If you prefer, substitute paper straws with wooden sticks or omit handles altogether.
  • The treats are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
