These cute Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats are sure to be a Halloween hit! Fun for Halloween parties, class treats or just for a little Halloween spirit!
October is here and Halloween is fast approaching. My kids are already getting excited for the big night and actually picked out their costumes a couple of weeks ago. I’ve never enjoyed putting together Halloween costumes so I was thrilled that they wanted something store bought. Yay for me!
While making costumes might not be my thing, I really do love all of the fun activities and projects that come with Halloween. I hope you enjoy these cute Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treat pops as much as we did!
Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats
If you’re looking for a fun Halloween treat to create with your kids, you’ll love these Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats! They’re fairly quick and easy to whip up and the kids loved them. You can leave them as squares or add a paper straw to turn them into Rice Krispie pops. They’d be perfect for a Halloween party or just a fun Halloween treat or movie night.
Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treat Pops
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. butter
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- 7 cups Rice Krispies
- green food coloring
- candy eyes
- green mini-marshmallows for the ears
- melting chocolate {I used about half a bag}
- paper straws {optional}
Instructions
-
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted. I know it's tempting to turn the heat up but I find that this works best if done slowly over lower heat! Add the green food coloring until you have the desired color.
-
Once melted, remove from the heat and gradually add the Rice Krispies. Stir until the Rice Krispies are completely coated. Using a buttered spatula {or butter your hands}, press evenly into a well greased 9x13 pan. Cool and cut into rectangles. {Mine were approximately 3 x 4 inches}.
-
Before they are completely cooled, press in the candy eyes and add the straws into the bottom of each rectangle. Snip the ends of the straw if you would like. Cut a toothpick in half and add a marshmallow to each half for the ears. Insert into the Rice Krispie square. Wait for the Rice Krispies to completely cool.
-
Melt chocolate in the microwave as per the directions on the package. For most melting chocolate, melt at medium-high heat for 1 minute, stir, and then continue heating in 10-30 second intervals until completely melted. Do not overheat!!! Using a knife add the hair and place down on wax paper. Pipe on the chocolate for the mouth {I just used a decorating squeeze bottle} and you are done!
Free Printable Halloween Labels
These Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats can also make a cute gift idea – just put them in some clear cellophane bags and add one of my free printable tags. I have two versions available for you – a round tag that you can just punch and tie it on with some baker’s twine…
…or a banner tag that you can just wrap around the stick and attach with double sided tape. Just notch out the end for an extra decorative touch!
I hope you get a chance to give these a try! They’re lots of fun to make and even better to eat!
