Mummy Rice Krispie Treats Recipe

Introduction

Mummy Rice Krispie Treats are a fun and festive Halloween snack that’s both easy to make and delicious. These sweet, gooey treats are creatively decorated to look like cute little mummies, making them perfect for parties or a seasonal treat with the kids.

The image shows several rectangular treats laid out on a white marbled surface. Each treat has multiple thin layers of light beige, crumbly texture resembling a cereal base. They are covered with a thick drizzle of white icing arranged in crisscross patterns to look like mummy wrappings. Two small round white candy eyes with black pupils are placed near the top center of each treat. The overall look is playful and Halloween-themed, with the layering and icing creating a textured, wrapped effect. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 5 1/2 cups mini marshmallows or 1 10 oz. bag of mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 8 oz. white chocolate, melted or melting candy
  • 20 candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
  2. Step 2: Remove the pan from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir well until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Step 3: Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Evenly press the mixture into the pan using a buttered spatula or buttered wax paper to avoid stickiness. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to let it firm up.
  4. Step 4: Once chilled, use a sharp knife to cut the treats into 10 rectangular pieces.
  5. Step 5: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl following package instructions.
  6. Step 6: Dab a small amount of melted chocolate on the back of each candy eyeball and press it onto a Rice Krispie treat to create the mummy’s eyes. Repeat with all pieces.
  7. Step 7: Place the remaining melted chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut a small slit in one corner. Drizzle the chocolate over each treat in a random pattern to resemble mummy wraps.
  8. Step 8: Let the chocolate set at room temperature or place the treats in the refrigerator to harden more quickly before serving.

Tips & Variations

  • Use mini pretzel sticks in the drizzle for added texture and a salty-sweet combination.
  • Substitute candy eyeballs with mini chocolate chips or edible googly eyes for a different look.
  • Add a few drops of food coloring to the white chocolate for colorful mummy wraps.
  • If you want chewier treats, slightly undercook the marshmallows and cereal mixture before pressing into the pan.

Storage

Store the mummy treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to keep them fresh. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow refrigerated treats to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture. Avoid sealing them while the chocolate is still warm to prevent condensation.

How to Serve

The image shows several rectangular treats that look like mummy figures. Each treat has a base layer of light beige crispy rice, topped with a cream-colored icing that is applied in thick, wavy lines crossing horizontally and vertically, creating a bandage look. Two small round white eyes with black centers peek through the icing near the top center of each treat, giving them a playful, spooky appearance. The treats are placed on a white marbled surface, spaced out evenly. The overall tone is light and creamy. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use another cereal instead of Rice Krispies?

Yes, you can substitute with similar puffed rice cereals, but Rice Krispies give the best classic texture and taste for this recipe.

What if I don’t have candy eyeballs?

Mini chocolate chips or small dots of black icing can work well as eye substitutes for the mummy design.

Main Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 5 1/2 cups mini marshmallows or 1 10 oz. bag of mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

For Decoration

  • 8 oz. white chocolate; melted or melting candy
  • 20 candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the marshmallow mixture: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and smooth.
  2. Combine with cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir thoroughly until all the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  3. Press into baking pan: Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking pan. Transfer the mixture into the pan and press down evenly using a buttered spatula or buttered wax paper, which helps prevent sticking. Refrigerate the pan for 10 minutes to allow the treats to harden slightly.
  4. Cut into pieces: After chilling, use a sharp knife to cut the Rice Krispie treats into 10 rectangular servings for the mummy shapes.
  5. Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate or melting candy in a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to the package instructions, usually heating in short bursts and stirring between until smooth.
  6. Attach candy eyeballs: Dab a small amount of melted white chocolate on the back of each candy eyeball and press it onto each cut Rice Krispie treat to create the mummy’s eyes. Repeat for all 10 treats.
  7. Create mummy wraps: Transfer the remaining melted white chocolate to a ziplock bag and snip a tiny corner to make a piping bag. Drizzle the chocolate randomly over the treats to mimic the look of mummy wraps. Allow the chocolate to set; refrigerate if you want the chocolate to harden faster.
  8. Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Mummy Rice Krispie Treats are ready to be served as a festive and delicious dessert.
