Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter completely. Add marshmallows and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the marshmallow mixture from microwave and quickly stir in Rice Krispies cereal. Mix gently but thoroughly to ensure all cereal is evenly coated.
- Fold in candy corn and white chocolate chips, stirring carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula or buttered hands to press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Allow the Rice Krispies treats to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes.
- Once completely cooled and set, cut into 12 equal-sized squares using a sharp knife.
- Serve and enjoy your festive Candy Corn Rice Krispies treats!
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, ensure your marshmallows and Rice Krispies are fresh. Stale ingredients can lead to a less-than-ideal treat.
- Microwave in Intervals: When melting the butter and marshmallows, microwave in 30-second intervals to prevent burning. Stirring in between helps achieve a smooth consistency.
- Grease Your Hands: When pressing the mixture into the pan, greasing your hands with butter can prevent the sticky mixture from clinging to your fingers.
- Customize Your Treats: Feel free to mix in other fun ingredients like mini chocolate chips, sprinkles, or even nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them fresh for up to a week. If they become too hard, a quick 10-second microwave zap can soften them up again!
