Halloween Party Treats
Typically everyone leans towards cupcakes when it comes to a Halloween gathering or at least that’s what we’ve seen at Halloween parties. I however like to pull the “be different” card and try something different. Let me tell you I’ve had my share of crazy ideas!
I made these treats on a last minute whim for my kids school Halloween dance bake sale. They sold out within the hour. This means I hit all the wants: colourful, intriguing, chocolate and delicious! Plus. they were easy! Shhhhhh.
We certainly love Halloween and the mom’s and I always have a Halloween gathering every year where there have been many crazy concoction! There have been some fun, spooky bites let me tell you!
Tips and Tricks
- For a 9×13 inch pan use approximately 11 cups of mini marshmallows to 8-9 cups cereal.
- Butter or spray the pan to avoid any sticking.
- Never pack the mixture in to tight. Packing the tight will make them harder.
- When using a 9×13 pan this recipe makes 15 large squares. You could easily double the amount of squares by cutting them smaller.

- Cooking spray
- 1 1/2 cup white, milk or dark chocolate chips, wafers or chunks

- Pour in rice krispies and stir until combined.
- Spray a 9x13 inch pan with cooking spray.
- Pour rice krispies into pan. With buttered hands or a spatula press down gentley until even. Set aside to cool.
- Pour chocolate into microwave safe bowl and microwave 40-60 seconds or until softened, stirring at 20 second increments.
- Add a couple drops of food colouring into white chocolate, stirring after each addition until you reach your desired colour.
- Pour melted chocolate over rice krispies, spreading for even consistency.
