These Ghosts Rice Krispies Treats are easy to make using pre-packaged treats, white candy melts, and black gel icing. Simply cut the bottom to form a ghost tail, dip in melted candy, and add eyes for a spooky Halloween treat.

Directions

Clear your workspace and collect all ingredients and tools. Unwrap the pre-made Rice Krispies Treats and arrange them on your work surface.

Use a knife to make four small cuts along the bottom of each treat, forming an 'M' shape. This will create the wavy ghost tail.

Place white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat at 50% power for 15 seconds. Stir, then continue in 15-second bursts. When only a few small lumps remain, stop microwaving and stir until fully melted from residual heat. Dip the top of each treat into the melted candy, then use a spatula to smooth the coating. Set aside to harden before adding eyes if you plan to use gel icing.

Use black gel icing to draw two eyes on each ghost. Let them dry completely without stacking the treats on top of each other. If using mini chocolate chips instead, press them into the white coating while it is still wet so they stick.
