Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Rice Krispie Mummies
1. Preparing the Base for Halloween Rice Crispy Treats
In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in cereal until evenly coated.
2. Shaping the Mummies
Press the mixture into a parchment-lined baking dish. Once cooled slightly, cut into rectangles or oval shapes—these will be the mummy “bodies.”
3. Adding the Final Spooky Touches
Melt the white chocolate and pour it into a piping bag. Drizzle over each treat in crisscross patterns to mimic mummy bandages. Before the chocolate sets, place two candy eyeballs near the top of each treat.
