These Halloween Mummy Treats are a fun, no-bake way to celebrate spooky season. Made with chewy rice crispy cereal bars wrapped in sweet white chocolate “bandages” and topped with candy eyes, they’re festive, kid-friendly, and easily adapted for gluten-free, dairy-free, or allergy-free diets.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups rice crispy cereal (use certified gluten-free if needed)
- 4 tbsp butter (or dairy-free margarine)
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows (check for allergy-safe brands)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or dairy-free white chocolate)
- Candy eyes
- Optional: A pinch of salt
- Optional: Natural food coloring for tinted “bandages”
Instructions
- Prepare the pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with wax paper and lightly grease.
- Melt the marshmallow mixture: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add marshmallows and stir until smooth.
- Add cereal: Remove from heat and gently stir in rice crispy cereal until fully coated.
- Press into pan: Spread evenly in the dish and let cool for 15 minutes.
- Cut into rectangles: Slice cooled mixture into bars.
- Decorate: Melt white chocolate in microwave, transfer to piping bag, and drizzle over bars to create “bandages.”
- Add eyes: Place candy eyes before chocolate sets.
- Set and serve: Allow chocolate to harden, then serve or store.
Notes
- For gluten-free: use certified GF cereal, marshmallows, and candy eyes.
- For dairy-free: use dairy-free butter and white chocolate.
- Overheating marshmallows can cause hard treats — melt over low heat.
- Best served at room temperature; avoid refrigerating to keep texture crisp.
