Servings: 12 squares
Ingredients
- 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
- 6 tbsp butter
- 1 cup candy corn
- 4 ½ cups rice krispies
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Start by giving the candy corn a quick rough chop; a few cuts will do the trick, as you want recognizable chunks in the final treats.
- In a large saucepan over low heat, add the butter and stir it gently until fully melted. Next, pour in the mini marshmallows and stir them continuously until they melt into a smooth, gooey mixture.
- Take the pan off the heat and fold in the chopped candy corn, stirring just until it’s well distributed.
- Now, add the Rice Krispies cereal, stirring until each piece is thoroughly coated in the marshmallow mixture.
- Prepare a 9x13 springform pan by generously coating it with cooking spray or lining it with wax paper. Transfer the candy corn Rice Krispies mixture into the prepared pan, then use a greased spatula to spread it evenly. For an extra festive touch, press a few additional candy corn pieces on top.
- Let the treats cool completely, then slice into 12 squares. Enjoy this Halloween treat with a sweet, spooky twist!
Notes
- Avoid overheating the marshmallows; melt them gently to keep them soft and gooey. Overheating can make them stiff.
- Store rice krispie treats in an airtight container on the countertop or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- These treats freeze well for longer storage!
