  • Place another sheet of parchment paper on top and press down firmly to pack the rice krispies-- be careful, they will be hot!
  • Set the rice krispies aside at room temperature to cool completely, about 1 hour. Slice and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you're one of those people who hate candy corn, that's okay! This recipe will still be cute and Halloween-themed with just the Halloween sprinkles. You could also replace the candy corn entirely with Halloween M&Ms!
  • I'd avoid putting these treats in the fridge. They'll get pretty hard and lose their desired consistency.
  • Salted butter adds a very light salty taste that balances out all of the sweetness perfectly. However, if you're going for more of a low-sodium take, you can use unsalted butter instead.
  • Nutritional information does not include optional ingredients
Storage: Store Halloween rice krispie treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
