These spooky red velvet Rice Krispie treats mimic raw ground beef for a gruesome Halloween snack. With red velvet cake mix and a hint of red food coloring, they’re perfect for a ‘meat’ display. Easy to make and sure to gross out your guests!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Over very low heat (or using a melt setting), melt the butter until it's fully liquid.
  2. Add the mini marshmallows and the marshmallow creme, then stir thoroughly to combine with the melted butter.
  3. Stir frequently to prevent burning in the middle. It may take some time, but eventually the mixture will turn completely smooth.
  4. Add the red velvet cake mix and stir until well incorporated. The mixture will turn brown and become a bit stiff to mix.
  5. Optionally, add 4–6 drops of red food coloring and stir.
  6. Pour in the Rice Krispies cereal. At first it may seem like there's too much cereal and not enough marshmallow coating, but keep mixing—there's plenty to coat it all.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a plate or, for a meat-counter look, a rectangular white foam tray. Use parchment paper to press the mixture down firmly (it won't stick) and shape it roughly into an odd, meat-like form. Press hard so the treats cut cleanly when serving.
