Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 5 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (or 1 bag)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Topping
- 8 oz white chocolate, melted
- 20 candy eyeballs (or mini chocolate chips)
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Mix in Rice Krispies: Remove the saucepan from heat. Quickly stir in the Rice Krispies cereal until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Press into Pan: Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down firmly and evenly. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes so it sets properly.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using short intervals, stirring between to prevent burning, until smooth.
- Decorate with Drizzle and Eyes: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the cooled Rice Krispie layer in a mummy-like pattern to mimic wrappings. While the chocolate is still wet, place candy eyeballs evenly spaced on top. Let the treats set completely before cutting them into squares for serving.
Notes
- Use a spatula or greased hands to press the mixture firmly into the pan to avoid sticking.
- If candy eyeballs are unavailable, mini chocolate chips or dots of melted chocolate can be used as eyes.
- White chocolate can be melted gently in a double boiler to avoid scorching.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract with the marshmallows.
- Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
