How to Make Mummy Rice Krispie Treats

Let’s Make It Together!

To make the Rice Krispie Treats:

1. Melt the Butter: In a large pot, melt the 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
2. Add the Marshmallows: Once melted, add in the mini marshmallows. Stir gently until they are completely melted and creamy.
3. Combine with Cereal: Remove from heat and add the 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal. Fold the mixture carefully to ensure every piece is coated in marshmallow goodness.
4. Shape the Mixture: Using buttered hands, or a spatula, press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan evenly.
5. Cool: Let the mixture cool completely, about 30 minutes, before moving to assembly.

To assemble the Mummy Rice Krispie Treats:

1. Cut and Prepare: Once cooled, cut the Rice Krispie treats into rectangles or squares.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the 8 oz. of white chocolate or melting candy following the package instructions.
3. Drizzle the Chocolate: Dip a fork into the chocolate and drizzle it over the treats to create a mummy bandage effect.
4. Add Eyes: Place two candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips on each treat while the chocolate is still warm.
5. Set: Allow the chocolate to set. You can pop them in the refrigerator for a quicker solidifying process if desired.

Fun Ways to Customize It

1. Flavor Infusion: Try stirring in a dash of vanilla extract or almond extract for a flavor twist that’s both zesty and comforting.
2. Colorful Drizzle: Use colored melting candy to create fun variations—think orange or green for an extra festive feel!
3. Add Crunch: Incorporate some crushed pretzels or nuts for an indulgently rich texture alongside those crispy Rice Krispies.
4. S’mores inspired: Blend in mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and some chopped chocolate bar pieces for a delightful twist!

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

1. Make-Ahead: You can prepare the Rice Krispie mixture a day in advance and leave it to cool; just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap.
2. Store Effectively: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days. They might get a little softer but still delicious!
3. Easier Cutting: Lightly butter your knife before cutting the treats—this helps in slicing cleanly without sticking.
4. Ingredient Swaps: If you can’t find candy eyeballs, mini chocolate chips work perfectly for those adorable little mummies!
