We have just five weeks until Halloween {I know, right!?} and so everything around here is about to start getting pretty scary! We’re pulling out all the cobwebs, ghosts, and black cats and getting into the spooky spirit. Of course, it’s not Halloween without some sweet treats!
These Monster Rice Krispies Treats are creepy yet cute- and delicious, too! They’re perfect for the little monsters in your life.
Monster Rice Krispies Treats
Ingredients:
-1 8ct. Box of Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Treats
-12 oz. Wilton dark chocolate candy melts
-1 snack size container of Mini Oreos
-1 snack size container of regular Oreos
-Multicolored chocolate candies (m&m baking candies work well too!)
-Small sandwich baggie
Directions:
1. Gently pry apart several of the Oreos, making sure that the white filling stays intact. {So, try not to lick it all off. That’s the hard part!} These will be your monsters eyes.
2. Heat the Wilton dark chocolate in a microwave safe dish in 30 second increments. Stir every 30 seconds until melted. {It took me about 3 minutes to melt 12 oz.} Allow to cool 3-4 minutes before dipping your Rice Krispies treats.
3. While the chocolate is cooling, I played around with the shape I wanted my monsters. I left a few regular size and rounded the edges with my hands. The others I cut in half and shaped into circles. They are nice and soft and easy to work with so have fun with it!
4. Dip the treats one at a time into the chocolate. Use a spoon if needed to completely coat them and lift them out with a fork, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
5. Lay each treat on a plate and place an Oreo or two {white filling side up} on each monster as eyes before the chocolate sets.
6. Repeat dipping all of the treats and giving them eyes. Set the plate in fridge and allow the treats to set for about 15 minutes.
7. Remove the treats from the fridge. Scoop a few tablespoons of the chocolate into a sandwich baggie and snip the end. Place a small dot of melted chocolate right in the middle of each “eye” and stick a multicolored candy on. Again, have fun with it- it doesn’t have to be perfect and messy monsters are super cute!
*Makes approximately 8 servings. Store in a cool dry area if not serving immediately.
