Mummy Rice Krispie Treats

How to make Mummy Rice Krispies Treats Recipe

✱ Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact ingredients and instructions!

Step 1 | Set Up

Gather your ingredients first, since wrapping mummies is a historically sticky situation. Then line a baking pan with parchment paper.

*Tip: Get out a stick of butter and allow it to soften on the counter. You’ll use the soft butter to coat your hands, so they do not stick to the ooey-gooey Halloween mummy treats. You could also spray your hands with cooking spray.

Step 2 | Melting the Marshmallows

In a large pot, preferably a non-stick saucepan, melt the butter indicated in the recipe card over medium heat or low heat if you have the time. However, butter burns quickly- so be sure to keep watch.

Once the butter is all melted, add in the salt and give it a good stir.

Meanwhile, use a small bowl to divide the marshmallows and place one cup of the pillowy good minis aside for later in the recipe.

Pour the remainder of the marshmallows into the medium pot full of butter and stir until they are melted.

Step 3 | Pour in the Marshmallows

Now that the mallow goodness is ready, remove the pan from the heat- you don’t want to burn your mummies. Add in the vanilla extract flavoring and stir in right away.

Now you can go ahead and add in the Rice Krispy cereal and the cup of marshmallows you set aside earlier.

Fold in all the crispy cereal gently taking care to ensure all the cereal is covered in the sticky mixture. In this step, we fold so that the cereal does not break up and turn into mush! After all, mummies are not mushy, y’all!

Step 5 | Cool & Cut

Alrighty, now you get a break. Allow the Rice Krispy Treats to sit at room temperature for an hour to set.

** Don’t rush and put them in the fridge or they will inevitably become bricks!

Once the cereal bars are set, slice to desired slices and place on a parchment paper-lined baking tray. Keep a 2-inch gap between each so you are able to bandage these mummies.

Step 6 | For the Mummy Wrap

Take out a microwave-safe bowl and melt the white chocolate candy melts 30 seconds at a time, stirring well between. When they are melted and silky smooth, they are ready for the mummy treats.

It is your choice how much or how little chocolate you want on your mummy treats recipe. You may even want to do a combination. Just have fun with them!

For the mummies with only drizzled bandages (Only 1 bag of white chocolate melts needed): Dab the melted chocolate from the bowl onto the backs of the eyes. Then place each eyeball candy on the Rice Krispie treats. Then you are ready to drizzle on the bandages.

*Skip to the bandage instructions.

For the mummies covered in white candy melts and drizzled bandages (Two bags of white chocolate needed): Take a tablespoonful of melted chocolate and spread it on top of the Rice Krispie treat. Place the mummy on parchment paper to dry.

You can also dip the Rice Krispie Treat into the white chocolate and cover the top of the entire treat if desired. Shake off any excess and place the uncovered side down onto wax paper or parchment paper.

Then place two eyes on each treat, while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat until all the treats are covered in chocolate and candy eyes.

Allow them to dry completely and then you can add the bandages.

Step 7 | Drizzle the Mummy Bandages

Re-melt the remaining white chocolate melts the same way as before. Then pour it into your piping or zip and snip off a tiny corner of the bag Alternatively, you could use a piping tip.

Hold the piping bag firmly and squeeze to drizzle the white chocolate over the treats to create the mummy look, trying to avoid covering the candy eyes. Drizzle the bandages from side to side in a random pattern.

Then set aside to set the chocolate completely.

Now it is the ghostly hour to display your cute little mummies and enjoy. They are going to love these little guys!

Serving Suggestions

If you are looking for the best way to display these easy Halloween treats, I suggest taking them to the next Halloween parties in an airtight container and then displaying them on a platter when you get there. Indeed there are other ways to serve them and show off your Mummified Halloween Rice Krispies. Here are a few suggestions I found.

• Put each mummy on a lollipop stick and cover them individually. Tie the covering off with a cute ribbon and you have an easily sharable treat.
• Another fun way is to take these beauties to class parties by wrapping each one individually.
• Try making them into Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats by adding some green and black white chocolate wafers.
