Halloween Crispy Treats Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make these sweet snacks. The exact measurements are in the recipe card below.
- Box of Rice Krispies Treats, or use a homemade recipe and cut them into rectangles
- Candy melts
- Colored sprinkles
- Candy eyes
How to make Monster Rice Krispies
Unwrap the treats and lay them out on parchment paper or a plastic cutting board.
Pour your sprinkles into a wide bowl or onto a plate and place them in your prep area.
Melt the candy melts in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave them for 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the candies are completely melted and smooth.
Dip half of a krispie treat into the melted candy. Use the back of a spoon or a spatula to smooth it out.
Before the candy sets, dip the top into the sprinkles or use a spoon to sprinkle some onto the treat.
Quickly add as many candy eyes as you wish to create your monster, and place the treat down on your parchment paper.
Make sure to do this while the candy is still wet, so the eyes stick well.
Repeat with the remaining treats and allow the monsters to set and cool before serving.

What’s the best way to serve the monster treats at a party?
Stick a straw into the bottom of the rice krispie treats to serve at a party.
