Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (10.5 ounces / 298 grams) bag marshmallows
- 4–5 cups gluten-free rice krispie cereal
- 1/2 cup candy corns (extra for topping)
Binding Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup sprinkles (extra for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×9 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly coating with nonstick spray to ensure easy removal of the treats.
- In a large saucepan, gently melt coconut oil and marshmallows over medium heat, continuously stirring to prevent scorching and create a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Gradually fold rice krispie cereal into the melted marshmallow mixture, ensuring each grain is thoroughly coated and the consistency is even.
- Carefully incorporate candy corns and festive sprinkles throughout the mixture, distributing them evenly for a colorful Halloween-themed treat.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, using a spatula or clean hands to spread and compact the treats into an even layer, creating a smooth surface.
- Artfully arrange additional candy corns and sprinkles on top of the treats, gently pressing them to ensure they adhere to the surface.
- Allow the rice krispie treats to cool completely at room temperature for approximately 30-45 minutes, enabling them to set and become firm before cutting into square servings.
Notes
- Prevent Marshmallow Sticking Coat your spatula or hands with cooking spray to easily mix and press the mixture without sticky residue.
- Candy Corn Caution Add candy corns at the end of cooking to prevent them from melting completely, maintaining their festive shape and color.
- Texture Control Adjust rice krispie cereal quantity to achieve desired gooeyness – less cereal creates softer treats, more cereal makes crunchier squares.
- Storage Hack Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain freshness and prevent hardening.
