How to Make Cozy Mummy Rice Krispie Treats

Let’s Make It Together! Follow these simple steps to create your very own mummy treats:

In a large pot, melt the butter over low heat.
Once melted, add in the mini marshmallows and stir gently until completely melted and creamy.
Remove from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal, folding the mixture to ensure every piece is coated in that gooey marshmallow goodness.
Using buttered hands or a spatula, press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan evenly, creating a solid base.
Let the mixture cool completely, about 30 minutes—this is the hardest part!
Cut the cooled treats into rectangles or squares, ready for decorating.
Melt the white chocolate following the package instructions.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the treats to create a mummy bandage effect—get whimsical with it!
Place two candy eyeballs or mini chocolate chips on each treat while the chocolate is still warm, giving each mummy its personality.
Allow the chocolate to set, refrigerating for quicker solidification if desired.

Fun Ways to Customize It

Feeling a little adventurous? Here are some delicious variations to try:

Chocolate Drizzle: Swap the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate for a rich, indulgent twist.
Nutty Crunch: Mix in some chopped nuts or crispy cereal for added texture.
Fruity Twist: Add in some dried fruit like cranberries or cherries for a pop of color and flavor.
Seasonal Spice: Try sprinkling in some pumpkin spice for a warm autumn flavor that complements the sweetness.
