    Substitutions & Variations

    We love to share ways that you can customize this recipe and make these Halloween treats for your family.

    • For a fun twist, use Frosted Rice Krispies instead of the classic crispy rice cereal for a little added sweetness.
    • No marshmallows? No problem. I’ve used marshmallow creme in rice krispie treats too.
    • Want to know one of my favorite little tricks? I have added a little vanilla extract to the marshmallow mixture for additional flavor.
    • Or, frost the top of the krispie treats with your favorite vanilla frosting and then add the candy corn decoration.
    • Speaking of decoration, get creative with the toppings! You can drizzle on melted orange and yellow candy melts. Sprinkle on candy corn marshmallows, mini candy corn or Autumn mix for a festive appearance.
    • Want to make these treats the hit of your Halloween parties? Sandwich Halloween sprinkles, white chocolate chips, extra marshmallows or more candy corn in between the layers of this deliciously sweet Halloween treat.
    • Finally, you can use a cookie cutter or a knife to cut these candy corn rice krispies treats into candy corn shapes. Your little goblins will gobble up these tasty treats up in no time!

    Instructions

    Don’t let those striped layers fool you. These candy corn treats couldn’t be easier to make! You need one 8×8 pan, a saucepan, a spoon and a handful of ingredients that can be found at your local grocery store.

    Make Candy Corn Krispie Treats

    First, line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper greased with butter or non-stick spray.

    Start with the bottom yellow layer

    1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan and then add 2 cups of mini marshmallows, on low to medium heat. Next, stir until they’re melted and smooth.
    2. Remove the saucepan from heat and add then about ¼ teaspoon of yellow gel food coloring to the marshmallows. Keep stirring until the marshmallow mixture is evenly colored.
    3. Next, fold in 2 cups of rice krispies cereal until the cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture. Then, using a clean hand or a greased spatula, press the yellow mixture into the bottom of the prepared 8×8 pan.

    2. Remove the pan from the heat and add ¼ cup candy corn. Stir until the candy corn melts. Add orange gel food coloring if you want this layer to have a darker orange color. Then, you can stop stirring when the marshmallow mixture is evenly mixed and evenly colored.

    Storage

    To keep your Halloween rice krispie treats fresh, store them in an airtight container. Separate the cut treats with parchment paper or wax paper to prevent them from sticking together. Keep them at room temperature for 2-3 days, in the refrigerator for up to a week or pop them in the freezer for up to six weeks. If you have leftovers, that is!
