Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 9 tablespoons butter
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows , divided (reserve 1 cup)
- 9 cups Rice Krispies cereal
Toppings
- 2 bags white chocolate melts
- 1 package candy eyes
Instructions
Rice Krispie Treats
- Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a non-stick saucepan or pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the salt and stir. Then divide the marshmallows by separating 1 cup and setting it aside for later. Pour the rest of the marshmallows into the pot and continue to stir until melted.
- Once melted, remove the pan from the heat and then add the vanilla extract and stir in quickly. Then add in the Rice Krispies cereal and the 1 cup of reserved marshmallows. Fold gently until combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly, without pressing in too hard. Use the back of a wet fork or spoon (or the inside of the butter wrapper) to lightly press it down and into the corners of the pan. You can also use wet fingertips but I find using the butter wrapper easiest. Do not overpack it otherwise it will become too hard once set.
- Let set at room temperature on the counter to set for at least 1 hour. Do not refrigerate or it will harden and be difficult to eat.
- Once set, cut into desired slices and place on parchment paper-lined baking trays with a 2-inch gap between each slice.
For the Mummies
- Add the white chocolate candy melts to a microwave safe bowl and heat according to package instructions, or in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until melted and smooth.
- For the mummies with just drizzled bandages (Only 1 bag of white chocolate melts needed): Dab melted chocolate from the bowl onto the backs of the eyes and place them on the Rice Krispie treats.
- For the mummies covered in chocolate 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 on parchment paper.*You can also dip the Rice Krispie Treat into the white chocolate and cover the top or the entire treat if desired. Shake off any excess and place the uncovered side down onto the parchment paper.Then place two eyes on each treat, while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat until all are covered in chocolate and candy eyes.Allow to dry completely.
For the Mummy Bandages
- Re-melt the remaining white chocolate melts, then pour it into your piping or zip and snip off a tiny corner of it bag (alternatively, you could use a fitted with your 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. Then set aside to set completely (about 15 minutes).
- Serve and enjoy! Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
