These Easy Halloween Rice Krispie Treats with Candy Corn are a quick, 5-ingredient dessert that’s perfect for parties. They combine crispy cereal, gooey marshmallows, and sweet candy corn for a festive and delicious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces marshmallows (about 40 regular marshmallows)
  • 5 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn, plus more for topping
  • ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt, plus more for garnish

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving about 2 inches of overhang on the long sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper with butter or nonstick spray. Set aside.
  2. Place a large pot over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt slowly, swirling occasionally, until fully melted and just starting to bubble (do not let it brown).
  3. Add the marshmallows to the pot and stir constantly with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until completely melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Stir in the flaky sea salt until combined.
  5. Pour the Rice Krispies cereal into the pot and gently fold until evenly coated, being careful not to crush the cereal.
  6. Add 1 cup of candy corn and fold gently to distribute evenly. Do not overmix.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan. Using a greased spatula or parchment paper, press into an even layer.
  8. While still warm, sprinkle extra candy corn on top and press gently to adhere. Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.
  9. Let cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. Use the parchment paper handles to lift the block out of the pan. Cut into squares with a sharp knife (sprayed with nonstick spray).

Notes

For best texture, serve the same day. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate. To freeze, wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes.
