These Halloween Rice Krispie Treats are a quick and easy 15-minute recipe featuring buttery marshmallow treats studded with candy corn. Perfect for Halloween parties, they’re a nostalgic crowd-pleaser that kids and adults love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 ounces) regular marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on two opposite sides. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Place a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and let it melt slowly.
  3. Once the butter is fully melted, pour in the entire 10-ounce bag of marshmallows. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. If using, stir in the vanilla extract and pinch of salt until fully incorporated.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat.
  6. Pour in the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal all at once. Fold gently with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until every piece of cereal is coated.
  7. Add the 1 cup of candy corn and fold it in gently. Do not overmix; you want distinct pieces of candy corn visible.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula or greased hands, press the mixture into an even layer. Do not press too hard.
  9. Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Once completely cool, lift the block out using the parchment overhang. Place on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife (sprayed with cooking spray) to cut into squares.

Notes

For best results, use fresh marshmallows and candy corn. Grease your spatula, hands, and knife to prevent sticking. If the mixture gets too stiff while pressing, return the pot to low heat for 30 seconds to soften. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Freeze individual squares wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 3 months.
