Ingredients

  • 5 pieces individually wrapped Rice Krispie Treats
  • 6 oz black candy melts
  • 6 oz purple candy melts
  • 6 oz orange candy melts
  • 7 pieces large candy eye sprinkles
  • 16 pieces small candy eye sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt each color of candy melts according to package instructions. For convenience, you can microwave on defrost for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring in between until fully melted. A melting pot also works well for this step.
  2. Step 2: Dip each Rice Krispie Treat into the melted candy melts, fully coating one side. Place them onto parchment paper to set.
  3. Step 3: While the candy coating is still wet, press candy eyes into the surface in fun, varied patterns. Allow the coating to dry completely before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use a fork or skewer to dip the treats without getting your fingers messy.
  • Try different candy melt colors or add edible glitter for more festive flair.
  • If you don’t have parchment paper, wax paper works as an alternative for setting the treats.

Storage

Store your finished Monster Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigeration to keep the candy melts from becoming sticky. If the coating softens, let treats sit at room temperature before serving to firm up.

How to Serve

Five square rice crispy treats sit on a black plate over a black and white checkered cloth on a white marbled surface. Each treat is divided into two layers: the bottom layer is the light beige, textured rice crispy base, and the top half is coated in smooth, colored chocolate with candy eyes. Two treats have bright orange chocolate with five circular white candy eyes of different sizes, two treats have purple chocolate with five eyes, and one treat has dark brown chocolate with five eyes. The candy eyes are arranged to look like funny monster faces, varying slightly on each treat. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use any type of Rice Krispie Treats for this recipe?

Yes, store-bought individually wrapped Rice Krispie Treats work great, but you can also make and cut your own homemade treats if preferred.

What if I don’t have candy melts?

You can substitute with white chocolate chips or wafers, though candy melts are usually easier to work with for smooth coatings and color variety.

Description

These Monster Rice Krispie Treats are a fun and festive twist on the classic snack, perfect for Halloween or any playful occasion. Rice Krispie treats are dipped in brightly colored candy melts and adorned with cute candy eyes to create monster faces that kids and adults alike will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Rice Krispie Treats

  • 5 pieces individually wrapped Rice Krispie treats

Candy Coating

  • 6 oz black candy melts
  • 6 oz purple candy melts
  • 6 oz orange candy melts

Decorations

  • 7 pieces large candy eye sprinkles
  • 16 pieces small candy eye sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt the candy melts: Melt each color of candy melts separately according to package instructions. A recommended method is heating on defrost power in the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds, stirring well and repeating this process until fully melted. Alternatively, use a candy melting pot for even melting.
  2. Dip the treats: Dip each Rice Krispie treat into the melted candy carefully to coat it evenly. Place the coated treats onto parchment paper to ensure they do not stick and allow the coating to set slightly.
  3. Apply candy eyes: While the candy coating is still wet, press the large and small candy eye sprinkles onto the treats in various patterns to create monster faces. Arrange the eyes creatively before the coating dries.
  4. Let set and serve: Allow the candy coating to fully harden at room temperature before serving. Once dry, the treats are ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

  • You can melt the candy melts using a double boiler if you prefer gentle, controlled heat.
  • Working quickly when dipping and decorating ensures candy melts don’t harden before you finish.
  • These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Mix and match candy melt colors to create your own custom monster designs.
