Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Food coloring (red, green, blue, or any color you prefer)
  • Edible eyes or candy eyes for decoration
  • Colored sprinkles (optional)
  • Cookie cutters (optional, for fun shapes)

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
  3. Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Divide the marshmallow mixture if coloring. Add a few drops of food coloring to each portion and mix until the desired color is achieved for your monster treats.
  6. Gradually fold in the Rice Krispies cereal into the colored marshmallow mixture until evenly coated.
  7. Firmly press the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  8. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  9. Cut the treats into squares or use cookie cutters to create fun monster shapes.
  10. Decorate each treat with edible eyes and colored sprinkles to create the monster look.

Notes

  • Experiment with different food coloring combinations for unique monster hues.
  • Use silicone molds for various monster shapes beyond traditional squares.
  • Add flavor extracts like almond or mint for a different taste profile.
  • Incorporate candies, chocolate chips, or gummy worms for added texture and flavor.
  • Create a themed dessert table with your monster Rice Krispie treats for parties.
  • For a chocolatey twist, dip cooled treats in melted chocolate.
  • Blend peanut butter into the marshmallow mix for a peanut butter variation.
  • Mix in other cereals like Cocoa Pebbles or Fruity Pebbles for extra flavor and color.
  • Add crushed pretzels or potato chips for a sweet and salty savory option.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
  • For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
