Ingredients (serves 4-6 people):

6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal
4 cups of mini marshmallows
3 tablespoons of unsalted butter
White chocolate melts or candy coating
Black icing or edible marker for decorating
Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing

Cooking Instructions:

Prepare the pan: Begin by lining a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray or butter. Set aside.
Melt the butter: In a large saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent it from browning.
Add marshmallows: Once the butter has melted, add the mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Combine with Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal. Gently fold the cereal into the marshmallow mixture until well combined and evenly coated.
Shape the treats: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a buttered spatula or damp hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish. Allow it to cool and set for about 30 minutes.
Cut and shape: Once the mixture has set, lift it out of the pan using the parchment paper. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out ghost shapes from the set mixture. Re-roll scraps if needed to cut more ghosts.
Decorate the ghosts: Melt the white chocolate or candy coating according to package instructions. Dip each ghost shape into the melted chocolate, ensuring a smooth, even coating. Place the coated ghosts on a wire rack or parchment paper to set.
Add facial features: Once the coating has hardened, use black icing or an edible marker to draw eyes and a mouth on each ghost, giving them a spooky, playful look.

Extra Tips:

For best results, work quickly when combining the Rice Krispies with the melted marshmallow mixture to guarantee even coating.

If you don’t have a ghost-shaped cookie cutter, you can use a knife to cut out ghost shapes freehand.

Store the finished Ghostly Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container to keep them fresh and chewy.

For an extra touch, consider adding sprinkles or edible glitter before the chocolate coating sets, giving your ghostly creations a bit of extra sparkle.

Ingredients for Pumpkin-Shaped Rice Krispie Bites (serving size: 4-6 people)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Orange food coloring
24-30 Tootsie Roll candies (or similar chocolate candy for stems)
Green icing or candy leaves for decoration
Cooking spray or butter for greasing

Cooking Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Before starting, unwrap the Tootsie Roll candies and set them aside for later use.
Melt the Butter and Marshmallows: In a large pot over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once the butter has melted, add the entire package of mini marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Color the Mixture: Once the marshmallows are melted, remove the pot from heat. Add a few drops of orange food coloring to the mixture and stir until the color is evenly distributed. Adjust the color as needed to achieve the desired shade of pumpkin orange.
Add the Cereal: Quickly add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the pot and mix until the cereal is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture. Confirm that all the cereal is evenly coated for consistent flavor and texture.
Shape the Pumpkins: Grease your hands with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. Take small handfuls of the mixture and shape them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a lined baking sheet.
Add the Stems and Leaves: Press a Tootsie Roll candy into the top of each ball to create a pumpkin stem. Use green icing or candy leaves to add a decorative leaf next to the stem.
Cool and Set: Allow the Pumpkin-Shaped Rice Krispie Bites to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Extra Tips

When making Pumpkin-Shaped Rice Krispie Bites, it’s helpful to work quickly once the cereal is added to the marshmallow mixture as it can harden fast.

Keep your hands greased to make shaping the pumpkins easier and less messy. If the mixture becomes too hard to shape, briefly warm it up again over low heat.

For an added festive touch, you can add sprinkles or edible glitter to the mixture before shaping the pumpkins. Enjoy these treats within a day or two for the best taste and texture!

Set: Allow the squares to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving.

Extra Tips:

For a more intense green color, use gel food coloring as it tends to be more concentrated than liquid food coloring. If you find the mixture sticking to your spatula or hands while shaping, lightly grease them with cooking spray.
