I’ve transformed the beloved Rice Krispie treat into something delightfully spooky! These mummy Rice Krispie treats are the ultimate Halloween snack—deliciously gooey, packed with the rich flavor of brown butter, and wrapped in a sweet white chocolate coating. Not only are they irresistibly tasty, but they’re also a blast to make.
Like my 4th of July Rice Krispie Treats, we can’t get over how adorable these little mummies are. I love this recipe… it’s genuinely the best Rice Krispie treats recipe ever! It’s made with brown butter, which adds a lot of flavor.
I got this cute idea from our mummy cupcakes and our mummy brownies. They’re always a hit and easy to make. Also, check out my mummy brie for more mummy-themed Halloween party snacks!
These are the perfect treats to bring to a Halloween party! They’re pretty easy to make, too, and you don’t need to be an expert at cake or cookie decorating.
Mummy Rice Krispie Treats Ingredients
They’re easy to make! Our favorite method is to brown the butter first to give them even more flavor and nuttiness. We also add vanilla extract.
Rice Krispies: You’ll need 12 ounces. See the recipe card below.
Marshmallows: You’ll need about 60-80 large marshmallows.
Salted Butter: You’ll use two sticks of butter, 1 cup.
Vanilla extract: Adds flavor.
White Chocolate or White Candy Melts: Use these to dip and make the mummy wrapping.
Sprinkles Eyes: These are for the mummy eyes.
Pro Tip for Perfectly Pressing Mummy Rice Krispie Treats
The absolute best and only way to press the mixture into the cake pan is by using parchment paper. It doesn’t stick to the marshmallow mixture, and you can quickly press down firmly, getting an even layer of Rice Krispies.
My little boy loved this part! I like seeing his chubby little hand pressing the parchment paper.
Effortless Cutting with a Buttered Knife
Use a buttered knife to divide your mummy Rice Krispie treats cleanly and efficiently. Slice down the center of the pan and then cut your desired rectangles. The butter on the knife prevents sticking, ensuring smooth, perfect cuts every time.
Perfecting the Mummy Look with Candy Melts
- Melt 1 bag of white candy melts and add in 1 tablespoon of canola oil to thin it out.
- Dip the cut Rice Krispie treats into the melted candy melts to coat the top and sides. You can leave the bottom uncoated.
- Let them sit on the parchment paper to dry.
- Melt another bag of candy melts and add to a piping bag.
- Cut a small hole at the end to pipe on the mummy badges.
- Go back and forth, starting from the top, making lines across the dipped Rice Krispie treats.
- Add two little eyes to finish them.
- Let them sit to dry for about 20 minutes.
The messier you make the bandages, the better! They don’t have to be perfect, and they look better when they’re crossed and random too.
Storage Tips: Keep Your Treats Fresh
To keep your Rice Krispie treats fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. This will prevent them from drying out and keep them chewy and delicious for up to a week. If you’ve made a large batch, consider dividing them into smaller containers to minimize air exposure.
Freezing Rice Krispie Treats
Wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap, then place them in an airtight container or freezer bag. This method prevents freezer burn and keeps them fresh for up to a month. When ready to enjoy them, thaw at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes.
FAQ: Can I make Rice Krispie Treats on the same day?
They are best the day they’re made, but if you need the extra time to make them into mummies, you can make them the day before. Just seal them tightly and store them on a counter at room temperature.
FAQ: How long does a homemade Rice Krispie treat last?
If they are sealed airtight, they can last up to three
FAQ: Rice Krispie Treats Variations
Change it up and add different flavored marshmallows, like strawberries! Or use chocolate Rice Krispies to make them.
You can also add peanut butter and different extracts as well. There are so many variations you can do. Just be creative!
