Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 15 ounces marshmallows (mini or regular sized; about 1 1/2 (10 ounce) bags)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 9 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
Decorations
- 1 cup Halloween M&Ms
- 1/2 cup Halloween Sprinkles
- 1 cup candy corn
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter together with the marshmallows, stirring frequently until fully melted and combined.
- Add Vanilla and Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Incorporate Candy and Sprinkles: Gently fold in the Halloween M&Ms, Halloween sprinkles, and candy corn, distributing them evenly through the mixture.
- Transfer and Press: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using hands sprayed with cooking spray, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. Be careful not to burn your hands.
- Cool and Cut: Allow the treats to cool completely to set, then cut into 16 squares for serving.
Notes
- Spray your hands with cooking spray when pressing the treats to prevent sticking and to avoid burns.
- Use mini marshmallows for quicker melting, but regular marshmallows work fine as well.
- Substitute Halloween M&Ms with any colorful candy to match other themes if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to keep treats fresh for several days.
- Press the mixture firmly but not too hard to keep the treats light and chewy.
