One 10oz bag mini marshmallows
4 tbsp unsalted butter
10 oz green candy melts
3 oz black candy melts

Black jimmies sprinkles

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Butter a 9 x 13 casserole dish thoroughly to prevent sticking.
In a large pot over low-medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Once melted, add the mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until they become smooth and fully melted.
Pour in the rice krispie cereal. Using a spatula, stir until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Press down firmly until it fills the dish evenly, creating a flat top.
Allow the mixture to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm.
Once cooled, remove from the dish and cut into rectangles of various sizes.
Place a bowl over a small pot of boiling water. Add green candy melts to this bowl. Stir until completely melted. If it’s too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable shortening to thin it out.
Dip the top of each rice krispie treat into the green candy melts, then immediately into black jimmies sprinkles for added texture.
Place two royal icing eyes on each treat for that spooky effect!
In a small bowl, melt black candy melts in the microwave using 10 – 15 second increments. Pour them into a piping bag and pipe stitches onto each treat as desired.
Allow your decorated treats to set completely before packaging or serving.

Notes

To ensure your Frankenstein Halloween Rice Krispie Treats turn out perfectly every time, use fresh ingredients.
Melt candy slowly over low heat to prevent burning. Stir regularly for even consistency.
When packing the rice krispie mixture into the dish, press firmly to eliminate air pockets and create a dense treat.
Allow the treats to cool completely before cutting them into shapes. This will prevent them from crumbling.
Feel free to experiment with different colors of candy melts for different themed occasions beyond Halloween!
Keep leftover treats in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
