Description

Monster Rice Krispie Treats are a playful, colorful, and gooey no-bake Halloween snack decorated with candy eyeballs and sprinkles. Perfect for parties, school events, or a fun afternoon in the kitchen with kids.

Ingredients

Scale

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (about 150g)
5 cups mini marshmallows (about 280g)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (60g)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Gel food coloring (assorted colors: green, purple, orange, blue)
40–60 candy eyeballs
Sprinkles (optional, any style)

Instructions

Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick spray.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until it bubbles gently.
Stir in the mini marshmallows and keep stirring until melted and smooth. If needed, add a tiny splash of water.
Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (if using).
Divide the melted marshmallow mixture into separate bowls for each color you want.
Add a few drops of gel food coloring to each bowl and stir until the color is bright and even.
To each colored marshmallow bowl, add 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal and stir quickly.
Press each colored mixture into the prepared pan in sections or swirls for monster stripes. Use a spatula or greased hands.
Let the treats cool for 10–15 minutes. While still slightly warm, press candy eyeballs into the surface and add sprinkles if desired.
Lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment. Use a sharp or plastic knife to cut into squares or rectangles. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean edges.

Notes

Use fresh marshmallows for best texture. Gel food coloring gives the brightest colors. For allergy-friendly treats, use gluten-free cereal and vegan marshmallows. Add candy eyeballs while treats are still warm so they stick. Don’t overpack the mixture in the pan for light, chewy treats. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
