These Halloween Rice Krispie Treats are a fun and festive no-bake dessert. Simply melt butter and marshmallows, tint with food coloring, mix in cereal, shape into balls, and add candy eyes for a creepy-cute look.

Ingredients

4 Tablespoons salted butter

10 ounces mini marshmallows

5-6 cups rice krispies cereal ((about 1/2 box))

Food coloring

Wilton candy eyes (, I used the large ones)

Directions

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and set it aside.

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter. Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir until they are almost fully melted. If you want multiple colors, split the mixture into two bowls (or make a second batch).

If using food coloring, add a few drops to the marshmallow mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed.

Add 5 to 6 cups of rice krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and stir until all the cereal is well coated.

With buttered hands, form the mixture into 1.5-inch balls (about 0.6 ounces each). Press a large Wilton candy eye into the center of each ball.
