These festive Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are a colorful, no-bake Halloween treat that combines gooey marshmallows with crunchy Rice Krispies cereal for a fun and nostalgic snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Yellow food coloring
  • Orange food coloring
  • Non-stick spray or butter

Instructions

  1. Grease your 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. Once the butter has melted, add 10 ounces (about 6 cups) of mini marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
  5. Divide the mixture into three equal portions. If you’re looking for precision, use a kitchen scale to make sure the portions are evenly divided.
  6. Leave one portion as is (this will be the white layer). Transfer it to the prepared pan and press it down firmly to create an even layer.
  7. Take the second portion and add a few drops of yellow food coloring. Mix until the color is evenly distributed. Spread this yellow layer on top of the white layer in the pan, pressing it down gently but firmly.
  8. For the final portion, add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix well. Spread the orange layer over the yellow layer, pressing down to ensure it adheres properly.
  9. Let the layers set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
  10. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the treats into triangles or squares. If you want to mimic the candy corn shape, trim them into triangular pieces.

Notes

[‘Use fresh marshmallows for better texture.’, ‘Gel-based food coloring works best for vibrant colors.’, ‘Prepare all tools and ingredients beforehand to work quickly.’, ‘Lightly wet or grease your hands to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.’, ‘Use a sharp knife for clean edges when cutting the treats.’]
