Butter: Adds richness and helps bind everything together; don’t skimp on this essential ingredient.

How to Make Halloween Mummy Rice Krispie Treats
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbly. Add marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted into a creamy blend.
Add Rice Krispies Cereal: Remove from heat and fold in Rice Krispies cereal gently until evenly coated. Ensure every crunchy piece is covered without crushing them too much.
Shape into Bars: Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and press it down firmly using wax paper or your hands—this helps shape them into neat bars.
Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate melts at 30-second intervals until smooth. Stir well between each interval to avoid burning.
Decorate Like Mummies!: Dip one side of each bar into melted white chocolate then place on parchment paper. Use additional melted chocolate to drizzle “bandages” over each bar before adding chocolate chip eyes.
These adorable treats not only taste fantastic but also bring laughter and creativity into your kitchen! Keep an eye on those chocolate chips; they tend to disappear faster than anticipated.
Enjoy making Halloween Mummy Rice Krispie Treats as they capture both holiday spirit and deliciousness!
This amazing Halloween Mummy Rice Krispie Treats recipe brings fun and flavor to your spooky celebrations. These treats are not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. The gooey marshmallow and crunchy rice cereal create a delightful texture that kids (and adults) will love.
Key Tips for Success:
Use fresh marshmallows for maximum gooeyness; they melt perfectly, creating the ideal stickiness. I learned this the hard way when I used stale ones—no one wants a hard treat!
Ensure your mixture is evenly coated; too little butter can lead to crumbly treats. Trust me, the last thing you want is a rice cereal avalanche on Halloween night!
Let your treats cool completely before decorating; warm treats make it tricky to add those adorable candy eyes. I tried decorating too soon once, and it turned into a sticky fiasco.
Perfecting the Cooking Process
Start by melting the butter and marshmallows together, then mix in the Rice Krispies until fully coated for even distribution.
Add Your Touch
Feel free to swap out regular marshmallows for colored ones or add sprinkles for extra pizzazz. You can also customize with different candies for eyes or drizzle chocolate on top.
Storing & Reheating
Store your Halloween Mummy Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature for freshness. They do not require reheating since they are best enjoyed at room temperature.
Chef's Helpful Tips
- For perfect results, use a non-stick pan or spray with cooking oil to avoid sticking.
- Keep an eye on the marshmallows while melting to prevent burning, which leads to a gritty texture.
- Experiment with different shapes using cookie cutters for added fun!
One Halloween, I made these treats for a school party, and they vanished faster than my kids could say “trick or treat.” It felt rewarding seeing everyone enjoy them so much!
