Here's what you need to make the monster rice krispie treats:

6 tablespoon butter
6 cups mini marshmallows
6 ½ cups rice Krispies cereal
candy melts (I used orange, lavender, vibrant green, and royal blue)
candy eyes
black sprinkles

Just start with ½ cup of each color, because candy melts can go a long ways.

How to make homemade Rice Krispie Treats

1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and mini marshmallows together.

2. In a separate large bowl, add the rice krispies cereal. When the marshmallow and butter mix are nice and melted, remove from heat and pour this into the bowl with cereal. Stir until evenly distributed.

3. Pour this warm mixture onto wax paper and form a rectangle. You could also use a rectangular cake pan, but I try to use fewer dishes. 🙂

4. Let this cool, and harden. Then, cut these into equally spaced 12 little rectangles. Heat the candy melts in a small microwaveable bowl at 20 second intervals until melted and runny.

Then you will dip the little rice krispie treats halfway into the candy melts. Or you could choose to scoop the candy melts onto your treat, which ever you prefer.

Immediately after dipping your monster treat into the candy melts, add some candy eyes and black sprinkles. This way the candy melts will harden with the eyes and it will all be one.

Lay them wax paper to let them set up and get hard. Then, enjoy!

That's really all there is to it. Super simple, and really fun for Halloween. Also, don't forget to check out our monster oreo cookies!
