These Easy Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are a quick, festive, and nostalgic Halloween snack featuring melted marshmallows, Rice Krispies cereal, and candy corn folded in for a sweet seasonal twist.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch pan with butter or line it with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In a large non-stick saucepan over low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, being careful not to brown it.
  3. Add 6 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly with a rubber spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using.
  5. Quickly add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and fold gently until every grain is coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
  6. Fold in 1 cup of candy corn gently to keep the colors vibrant.
  7. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down evenly with a buttered spatula or lightly greased hands, pressing firmly but not compacting too much.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until set, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for quicker setting.
  9. Once set, cut into squares or festive shapes using a sharp knife or bench scraper and serve immediately or store as directed.

Notes

Melt butter and marshmallows over low heat to avoid burning. Use fresh mini marshmallows for best texture. Fold candy corn gently to prevent melting. Press treats lightly but evenly to keep them chewy. Dip knife in warm water and wipe between cuts for smooth edges. Store in airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
