items for decoratinguse anything from candy eyes to sprinkles (like pretty pastel star sprinkles or creepy Halloween sprinkles), shaved chocolate, decorative sugar crystals, or bits of other candy.
Instructions
Begin with 10 rice krispie squares. You can make them from scratch, or simply purchase them pre-made in stores (which is what I did).
Select 2 cups candy melts in the color(s) you'd like to use, and melt them according to the manufacturers directions. I recommend heating them in a microwave-safe measuring cup. Be careful to not overheat them, or the candy melts will burn!
Dip the rice krispie treat carefully about halfway into the measuring cup. Give it a gentle shake to remove the excess.
Lay the dipped rice krispie on parchment paper, and repeat until they are all coated. If you are using multiple colors, move on to the next step before starting over with melting new colors again.
Time to decorate! Grab your favorite items for decorating to give your Halloween rice krispie treats the finishing touch.
Allow the rice krispies to rest on the parchment paper so the candy can harden and the sprinkles can set. Then enjoy!
Notes
To store, keep rice krispie treats in an airtight container for 2-3 days. You can also store them in the freezer for several months.Want a fun way to display your rice krispies? Why not make a candy charcuterie board!
