Somehow this Fall my husband and I fell into a homemade Rice Krispies Treats craze! We were making them every few weeks because that marshmallow gooeyness was so delicious we just couldn't get enough. I don't think I can ever go back to the store bought version, I wasn't that big of a fan anyway, but this just solidified that. Last week when we went to the store I found orange Rice Krispies cereal and I knew I already had little decorative eyes at home so I decided it would be a fun way to celebrate the season by making mummies.
I didn't get creative with the Rice Krispies, I just followed the directions on the box which I have put below for your convenience.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Yields: 12 servings
Gather the Troops!
3 tablespoons butter
5-1/2 cups JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows
6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal, white or orange
White chocolate for melting
Decorative eyes
In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.


Add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.


Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Allow these to completely cool before drizzling the melted chocolate. Then cut into 2-inch rectangles so they have a mummy shape.

Microwave the white chocolate melts in a glass bowl according to the package. For this part you need to move at a steady pace so that the chocolate doesn't begin to harden.
Dip your rectangular Rice Krispies treats into the chocolate 1/3 of the way. Lay them on a lined baking sheet to set.

Dip a tablespoon into the bowl of melted white chocolates, then hovering over the treats move the spoon side to side. The chocolate should drip off the spoon and make lines across the Rice Krispies treats. There doesn't need to be any uniform pattern, we want it to look messy to get the mummy effect.

While the chocolate is still soft, take your decorative eyes and place them on the dipped portion of your treat. Again, they don't need to be perfectly side by side, the crazy eyes make this a little more silly and fun.
