Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, let’s hit the grocery store together, yeah? So, first off, grab 6 cups of Rice Krispie cereal. You know, the crunchy stuff? Then, find a 10oz bag of mini marshmallows—the little ones that get all gooey and melty. We need 4 tbsp of unsalted butter (just don’t skimp on it, okay?).

Next, the fun part—green candy melts (10 oz), because hello, Frankenstein! And you can’t forget the black candy melts (3 oz) for those cute little stitches. Oh, and royal icing eyes? Yes! And finally, some black jimmies sprinkles because we need some pizzazz! ✨

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

OMG, let me tell you, these treats have a special place in my heart! So, last Halloween, I made a batch for a party, right? I thought I’d impress everyone. I was all, “Look at me, I’m a baking queen!” But here’s the kicker—my dog, Max, got into the treats before I even made it to the party! I found him sitting there with a green mouth and a guilty look, and I was like, “Dude, you’re not invited!” 😂

But the best part? Everyone still loved the ones I managed to save. They were the hit of the night! So now, I make them every year, and they remind me of Max’s little green face.

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, listen up! The secret sauce is the melting process! I know, I know—sounds boring, but hear me out. Use a double boiler for those candy melts. (Like, seriously, don’t just nuke them in the microwave and hope for the best.) You’ll get that smooth drippy goodness that makes your treats look like they just came off a Pinterest board!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

1. Butter the pan REALLY well. Like, bathe it in butter. No one wants sticky rice krispies!
2. Stir the marshmallows until they’re completely melted. If you leave chunks, it’s a marshmallow horror show.
3. Don’t overdo the candy melts—they can turn into a goopy mess if you heat them too long. Start with 10-15 seconds and keep checking!
4. Make sure to let them cool before cutting. Patience is key! (I know, it’s tough, but you got this.)

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

If you want to save some for later (not likely, but just in case), keep them in an airtight container. They’re best when fresh, but if you keep them sealed, they can last a few days. Just remember, the longer they sit, the less crispy they get. So, eat ’em quick!
