Spooky Spider Rice Krispie Treats

Spooky Spider Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect Halloween-themed dessert to add a touch of frightful fun to your festive gatherings. These treats aren’t only delicious but also easy to make, adding a creative twist to the classic Rice Krispie treats we all love.

The combination of gooey marshmallows, crispy rice cereal, and the addition of chocolate creates an irresistible delight that both kids and adults will enjoy. Shaped like eerie little spiders, these treats will surely be a hit at any Halloween party or event.

Transforming ordinary Rice Krispie treats into spooky spiders involves a few extra ingredients and some crafty assembly. You’ll need to shape the treats into balls to form spider bodies and use pretzels or licorice for spider legs. The finishing touch comes from using chocolate or candy eyes to give your spiders a playful and slightly creepy look.

This recipe is designed to serve 4-6 people, making it ideal for small gatherings or family treats. Follow the instructions below to create your own batch of Spooky Spider Rice Krispie Treats.

Ingredients (Serves 4-6):

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 24 pretzel sticks or strands of black licorice (for legs)
• 24 candy eyes or chocolate chips (for eyes)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Base Mixture: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
2. Combine with Cereal: Gradually add the Rice Krispies cereal to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir well until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
3. Shape the Spiders: Allow the mixture to cool slightly so it’s easy to handle, but still warm enough to shape. Grease your hands with a little butter or cooking spray and scoop out small handfuls of the mixture. Shape each portion into a ball to form the spider bodies.
4. Add the Legs: Insert 3 pretzel sticks or pieces of licorice into each side of the Rice Krispie balls to create the spider legs. Arrange them so they resemble a spider’s legs extending out from the body.
5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
6. Attach the Eyes: Use a small amount of the melted chocolate as “glue” to attach two candy eyes or chocolate chips to each spider. Dip a toothpick into the melted chocolate, then dab it onto the back of the eyes before placing them on the spider.
7. Set and Serve: Allow the spiders to cool and set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting. Once set, your Spooky Spider Rice Krispie Treats are ready to be served and enjoyed!

Extra Tips: For a quicker assembly, consider using pre-made candy eyes available at most baking supply stores. If you’re using licorice for the legs, verify they’re cut into lengths that are proportionate to the spider bodies.

To prevent sticking while shaping the spiders, lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. You can also experiment with different colors of melted chocolate or candy melts to add variety and more spookiness to your spider creations. Enjoy crafting these treats with friends or family for an interactive and fun Halloween activity.

• 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• Edible black gel icing or mini chocolate chips for decorating

Instructions:

1. Prepare the workspace: Before starting, lay out parchment paper on a flat surface or on baking sheets. This will be where you set the treats to cool and shape them into ghosts.
2. Melt the marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re completely melted and smooth. Remove the mixture from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Mix with cereal: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl. Stir quickly to evenly coat the cereal with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Shape the ghosts: With buttered hands or a buttered spatula, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into ghostly forms. Place each ghost on the prepared parchment paper. Allow them to cool and firm up slightly.
5. Decorate the ghosts: Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring in between until smooth. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the ghost shapes, giving them a ghostly appearance. Use the edible black gel icing or mini chocolate chips to create eyes and mouths on the ghosts.
6. Set and serve: Allow the treats to set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. Once set, the ghosts are ready to serve and be enjoyed.

Extra Tips: For a more defined ghost shape, you can use ghost-shaped cookie cutters instead of freehand shaping them. If the marshmallow mixture becomes too sticky to handle, lightly coat your hands with butter or cooking spray.

1. Prepare the Pan: Begin by thoroughly lining a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides. Lightly coat the parchment paper with non-stick cooking spray to facilitate easy removal of the treats later.
2. Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re completely melted and smooth.
3. Divide and Color the Mixture: Divide the melted marshmallow mixture into three separate bowls. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to one bowl and mix until the color is even. Add orange food coloring to the second bowl, adjusting the drops until you reach the desired shade. Leave the third bowl uncolored for the white layer.
4. Mix with Rice Krispies: In three separate large bowls, place 2 cups of Rice Krispies cereal in each. Pour the yellow marshmallow mixture over one bowl, the orange over the second, and the plain over the third. Mix each until the cereal is well-coated with the respective colored marshmallow mixtures.
5. Layer the Mixtures: Working quickly, press the yellow layer evenly into the prepared baking dish using a spatula. Follow with the orange layer, pressing it evenly on top of the yellow layer, and finally, add the white layer on top.
6. Add Candy Corn: While the mixture is still warm, gently press candy corn pieces into the top layer to decorate.
7. Set and Slice: Allow the treats to set at room temperature for about an hour. Once set, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block out of the pan. Cut into squares or triangles and serve.

Extra Tips: For a neater finish, lightly grease your hands or a spatula with non-stick spray when pressing the cereal layers into the pan. This will prevent sticking and allow you to evenly distribute each layer.

If you find the marshmallow mixture hardening too quickly, pop it back into the microwave in 10-second intervals to soften it. Finally, when cutting the treats, use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts to maintain clean edges. Enjoy your spooky, crunchy delights!

• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melt)
• Black decorating gel or edible marker

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Workstation: Start by lining a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be where you’ll shape and cool your Skeleton Bone Rice Krispie Treats.

2. Melt the Butter and Marshmallows****: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring continuously until they’re completely melted and smooth.

3. Mix in the Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir well until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.

4. Shape the Treats: While the mixture is still warm, lightly butter your hands and begin shaping the mixture into bone shapes. You can do this by forming a long cylinder for the bone shaft and adding two small balls at each end for the joints.

Place each shaped bone onto the prepared baking sheet.

5. Melt the Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts (or white chocolate chips) with coconut oil, if using, in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.

Extra Tips: For best results, work quickly when shaping the Rice Krispie mixture, as it becomes more difficult to shape as it cools. If the mixture begins to harden too quickly, gently reheat it for a few seconds in the microwave to soften it up.

When melting the candy coating, adding a bit of coconut oil can create a smoother finish and make dipping easier.

This makes them an ideal choice for those looking to whip up a last-minute Halloween treat that doesn’t compromise on creativity or flavor. The recipe yields enough to serve 4-6 people, making it perfect for small parties or family gatherings.

With just a bit of imagination and a few simple steps, you can transform ordinary ingredients into a festive and frightening snack that captures the Halloween spirit.

Ingredients (serving size for 4-6 people):

• 4 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
• 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
• 1 package (10 oz) regular marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Candy eyeballs
• Red gel icing

Cooking Instructions:

1. Prepare the Pan: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside. This will prevent the treats from sticking to the pan.
2. Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until they’re completely melted and combined with the butter. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine with Cereal: Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Press into the Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press the mixture evenly into the pan. Work quickly as the mixture will begin to harden as it cools.
5. Decorate: Before the mixture fully sets, press candy eyeballs onto the surface of the treats to create the appearance of eyeballs. Use red gel icing to add veins around the eyes for a more realistic and spooky effect.
6. Cool and Serve: Allow the treats to cool completely in the pan. Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and serve.

Extra Tips:

For a more colorful and festive appearance, consider using food coloring to tint the melted marshmallow mixture before adding the cereal. You can also add a few drops of green or purple food coloring to make the treats more Halloween-themed.

If you’re making these treats in advance, store them in an airtight container to keep them fresh. When pressing the mixture into the pan, a bit of butter on your hands or spatula will help prevent sticking. Enjoy your spooky creations!
