How To Make These Halloween Rice Krispie Treats
Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups yellow candy melts
- 2 cups orange candy melts
Instructions
Make the base:
- In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Add Rice Krispies cereal and mix until well coated.
Shape the circles:
- Spray two 9-inch pie pans with nonstick spray. Divide the mixture between the two pans and press flat with oiled hands or the bottom of a measuring cup.
- Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to 1 hour to firm up.
Melt the candy melts:
- In separate bowls, melt the yellow and orange candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- If the melted candy is too thick, stir in 1 tsp of vegetable oil until smooth.
Cut and dip:
- Turn the Rice Krispie circles out of the pans and place on parchment paper. Cut each circle into 6 wedges, like slicing a cake.
- Dip the pointed ends into yellow melts, scrape off excess, then dip the wide ends into orange melts. Let set on parchment.
Let set and serve:
- Allow the candy coating to harden for about 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
