These Easy Halloween Rice Krispie Treats with Candy Corn are a quick, nostalgic, and festive treat perfect for Halloween parties, school events, or a simple sweet craving. Made with just four ingredients, they come together in 15 minutes and feature a clever technique to keep the candy corn bright and intact.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 ounces) marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1/4 cup Halloween sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on two opposite sides. Lightly spray the parchment with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  2. Place a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt slowly, about 2 minutes.
  3. Pour the marshmallows into the melted butter. Stir constantly with a rubber spatula until completely smooth and glossy, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the salt.
  5. Pour in the cereal all at once. Fold gently with the spatula until every piece is coated, about 15-20 folds.
  6. Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Place a second piece of parchment paper (sprayed with non-stick spray) on top and press down firmly and evenly to create an even layer.
  7. Wait 2-3 minutes until the treats are warm but not hot. Press the candy corn into the top in a pattern or scattered. If using, add sprinkles.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Lift the treats out using the parchment handles. Place on a cutting board. Spray a sharp knife with non-stick spray and cut into squares (6 rows by 4 rows for 24 treats). Wipe the knife clean between cuts.

Notes

For best results, use fresh marshmallows and check the cereal expiration date. Add candy corn when treats are warm but not hot to prevent melting. Spray knife with non-stick spray for clean cuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. Do not refrigerate.
