These mummy rice krispie treats are made with a classic rice krispie treats recipe, drizzled with white chocolate, and topped with mini chocolate chip eyes. It's a spooky Halloween treat!
In a large saucepan, melt the butter on low heat and then add the mini marshmallows. Stir together until the marshmallows are completely melted.
Remove from heat, add in Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well combined and the cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture.
Butter a 9 x 13 inch baking dish and evenly press the Rice Krispie treats mixture into the pan. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to harden.
With a sharp knife, cut the Rice Krispie treats into 10 rectangular pieces. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, and melt in the microwave according to package directions.
Place the melted white chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut a small slit in the corner. Drizzle the chocolate across the top of the mummies in a random pattern to resemble a mummy wrap. Repeat with additional Rice Krispie treats. Place chocolate chip eyes on to each mummy. Allow the chocolate to harden and set, then enjoy!
Notes
Fresh marshmallows melt more smoothly and evenly than old ones. Make sure your marshmallows are not expired or stale for the best results.
When melting the butter and marshmallows, use low heat and stir continuously to prevent them from scorching or sticking to the pan.
Once you add the Rice Krispies to the marshmallow mixture, work quickly to combine them. The mixture can become harder to shape as it cools.
Consider adding a touch of vanilla extract or almond extract to the melted marshmallow mixture for extra flavor.
Allow the mummies to cool and set on the wax paper before decorating. This will prevent the chocolate from melting upon contact.
Don't be afraid to get creative with your mummy designs. Each one can have its own unique look. Some can be heavily wrapped with "bandages," while others can have just a few strategically placed lines.
When done, soak your utensils and pan in hot, soapy water immediately to make cleaning up easier. The marshmallow mixture can harden quickly and be challenging to remove.
