Instructions

This Rice Krispie Treat Monsters recipe is a fun way to set the mood for a killer Halloween Party! We always have a ton of fun decorating and baking Halloween treats. They take little preparation and can be meal-prepped.
If you plan to bake your own crispy rice treats or use individually store-bought crispy treats, follow our step-by-step instructions to ace this monster-themed party favourite!
If using prepackaged rice krispy treats, unwrap all the individually wrapped rice krispie bars beforehand. Place them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Option 1: Melted Chocolate Buttons - If you choose to use melted chocolate or vanilla cake frosting, follow the directions on the package. Microwaveable easy-to-melt buttons in a microwave-safe bowl at low-temperature one-minute intervals until completely melted.
Option 2: Vanilla Icing -Portion the tube of vanilla icing for cakes into small glass bowls. Add one to two drops of food colouring to each glass ramekin until the desired shade is achieved.
Dip and cover one end of a rice crispy treat in melted candy melts to decorate the naked Rice Krispie monsters.
Press candy eyes with different sizes of candy-coating goggly eyes, edible candy fangs, or candy lips to create rice krispie monsters with different patterns. It is a great way to get the whole family into the monster-themed party spirit!
Don't worry about where you place the eyes. These fun Halloween treats don't have to be uniformed. It's entirely up to you! Most importantly, have fun with these spooky treats.
Repeat the process until you've completed all the Halloween rice krispies monsters.
Rest the Halloween rice krispies at room temperature until the icing and candy melts have entirely hardened. If the weather is warm, place them in the refrigerator or freezer for 5 to 10 minutes.
Once hardened, arrange them on a party platter or sheet pan and serve.
