Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 15 ounces marshmallows (mini or regular sized; about 1 1/2 (10 ounce) bags)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 9 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 1 cup Halloween M&Ms
- 1/2 cup Halloween sprinkles
- 1 cup candy corn
Instructions
- Prepare pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with foil and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt butter and marshmallows: In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows together, stirring frequently until completely melted and smooth.
- Add vanilla and cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Quickly fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Mix in candy: Gently stir in the Halloween M&Ms, sprinkles, and candy corn until evenly distributed.
- Press mixture into pan: Pour the marshmallow-cereal mixture into the prepared pan. Using spray-coated hands or a spatula, press the mixture firmly to flatten it evenly in the pan. Be cautious as mixture may still be hot.
- Cool and cut: Allow the treats to cool completely at room temperature before lifting from the pan using the foil edges and cutting into 16 individual squares.
Notes
- Use cooking spray on your hands to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
- You can substitute the Halloween M&Ms and sprinkles for other seasonal candy or omit them to keep it simpler.
- To store, keep the treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- For easier removal from the pan, allow treats to cool completely before lifting out using the foil edges.
