Soft, chewy marshmallow cereal treats dressed in smooth white chocolate, with adorable chocolate eyes staring back at you these Rice Krispie Treat Ghosts are a quick 30-minute dessert that’s scary good. Perfect for parties, bake sales, or spooky movie nights.
Ingredients
- 2 oz dark cocoa candy melts for eyes
- 7 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 6 tbsp salted butter
- 16 oz mini marshmallows
- 6 oz white candy melts or white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the dark cocoa candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Pour into a small zip-top bag, snip the corner, and pipe teardrop eyes onto parchment. Chill until firm.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add mini marshmallows and stir until mostly melted. Add white candy melts or chocolate chips and stir until smooth.
- Quickly fold in the cereal until evenly coated. Grease your hands lightly with butter, divide mixture into 12 portions, roll into balls, and shape into cones. Pinch tops into points and curve slightly for a whimsical ghost look.
- Once cooled, press chocolate eyes into place. Use melted chocolate to help them stick if needed.
Notes
Butter your hands before shaping to avoid sticking. Use candy melts for a brighter ghostly white. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
