Description
Delightful and spooky Rice Krispie Treats shaped like ghosts, perfect for Halloween festivities!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces dark cocoa candy melts
- 7 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 6 tablespoons salted butter
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows
- 6 ounces white candy melts or white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the dark cocoa candy melts in the microwave using 30-second bursts at high power, stirring after each.
- Pour the melted chocolate into a small zip-top bag and snip off a tip. Pipe 24 small teardrop-shaped eyes onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze for about 3 minutes until hardened.
- Spray a large mixing bowl with baking spray and pour in the Rice Krispies Cereal; set aside.
- Cut butter into small pieces and place them in a medium-large saucepan over LOW heat.
- Stir in the mini marshmallows and white chocolate, stirring often until about 75% of the mixture has melted.
- Remove from heat and stir vigorously until fully melted.
- Pour the melted mixture over the cereal and stir until well coated.
- Allow the mixture to cool for a few minutes until it’s cool enough to handle. Pinch off twelve (approximately 1/2 cup) portions and roll them into balls, then shape into cones.
- Press two chocolate eyes onto each ghost; if they don’t stick, use some of the melted candy melts as glue.
- Let the ghosts dry at room temperature for about an hour before packaging them.
Notes
Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture. Grease hands with butter if necessary when handling the mixture.
