How to Make Halloween Rice Krispie Treats
Peanut Butter Cereal Treats
- In a 4 quart saucepan, melt butter on low heat, slowly as to not burn.
- Once butter has melted, keep heat on low and add mini marshmallows.
- Once marshmallows begin to soften and melt, add peanut butter.
- Constantly, stir the mixture so the peanut butter does not burn and the marshmallows can evenly melt (won’t take too long, about 5 minutes or so).
- Once, mixture is combined and melted, turn off heat and remove pan from stove.
- Add rice krispies cereal to saucepan and stir until evenly coated with mixture until well combined.
- Once made, use your hands or use a scoop the size you wish to start making the balls. First use some butter or non-stick spray and spray on hands or scoop or both, so they don’t stick to you.
- Now, scoop Rice Krispies out and fill the scoop. Add some extra Rice Krispies on the top of your scooped cereal and press down to get a rounder ball.
- Un-scoop onto parchment paper lined baking sheet, then finish rolling them in your hands, and place back on parchment paper. If they aren’t sticking, compact them some more.
- Let the rice krispie party treats air dry for about an 30 minutes or overnight in a zip-lock bag.
White Chocolate Coating
- Melt chocolate for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- Dip one ball at a time and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet you are using already. Add sprinkles and candies! Let chocolate set. Sooo yummy!!
Melting White Chocolate Tips
- For the white chocolate, I used Nestle, but you can also use candy melts or any premier white chocolate that melts well.
- The key to melting chocolate in the microwave is to not overheat the chocolate too much. Melt chocolate for 2 minutes, stirring well every 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
- If you want to thin it out, use 1 teaspoon of vegetable or canola oil and whisk it into the chocolate.
- Dip one ball at a time and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet you are using already. Add sprinkles and candies! Let chocolate set. Sooo yummy!!
