This guide walks you through making colorful rice crispy treats by melting marshmallows and butter, mixing in cereal, and dividing the batch to add food coloring. You will then shape the mixture into various Halloween forms and decorate them with chocolate, icing, and candies like Rolos, M&Ms, candy corn, Reese's cups, candy eyeballs, Oreo cookies, and miniature chocolate chips. The treats are left to set before serving.

Ingredients

Rice crispy cereal

Marshmallows

Butter

Food coloring (orange, green, purple, brown, yellow, etc.)

Chocolate (regular, white, dark)

Icing (white, chocolate, colored)

Candy (Rolos, M&Ms, candy corn, Reese's cups, candy eyeballs, Oreo cookies, miniature chocolate chips)

Popsicle sticks (for treats on a stick)

Directions

Melt butter and marshmallows together in a large pot over low heat. Once smooth, stir in the crispy rice cereal until every piece is coated.

Split the warm mixture into separate bowls. Work in your chosen food coloring—such as orange, green, purple, brown, or yellow—into each portion to achieve the hues required for your designs.

Form the colored mixtures into festive shapes like spheres, cubes, pumpkins, mummies, witch hats, ghosts, spiders, Frankenstein monsters, black cats, skeletons, tombstones, brains, or candy corn.

Use melted chocolate (regular, white, or dark), icing (white, chocolate, or colored), and an assortment of candies like Rolos, M&Ms, candy corn, Reese's cups, candy eyeballs, Oreo cookies, or miniature chocolate chips to bring your creations to life. You can drizzle chocolate for hair, pipe icing for details, or attach candies for features.

Let the decorated treats rest until they are firm and ready to enjoy.
