During the month of October I like to create some not so spooky fun for my family. The simple projects seem to reap the most rewards, and today I would like to share a new family favorite I think you are really going to like; but first I have a little joke for you….
Why did the monster knit herself three socks?
Because she grew another foot!
OK, I know that was bad, but it was a good bad right?! So how about we talk about another kind of monster? Take a look!
These seriously are the easiest to make and even your littlest ghouls and goblins can get in on the cooking fun. My 4 year old had so much fun arranging the eyeballs on these monster treats. I think she did a pretty good job.
Since you are creating monsters, you could probably choose to make your monsters any color you wanted. I thought orange would be nice, but my little helper opted for purple and green. So, that is what we went with.
Before we go on, I kind of feel like you need to hear another joke. It’s really good I promise…..
Knock, Knock!
Who’s there?
Emma.
Emma who?
Emma going to get any Halloween candy?!
Alright, so no more jokes. How about we get back to making monster treats?! I picked up all of my ingredients at my neighborhood dollar and craft store. Here is a roundup of everything you will need.
I purchased the long, pre-made Rice Krispie bars, because they can be cut into 3 pieces each bar.
Follow the instructions on the chocolate candy melts package. I do one color at a time to ensure the chocolate doesn’t harden. To apply the chocolate you can either dip the top half of the treat or I personally prefer to use a small spoon and spread the chocolate on the top part of the treat. That way I can control the dripping.
Next lay the chocolate dipped Rice Krispie on wax paper to dry. Apply the eye balls before the chocolate dries and hardens.
Here is a printable recipe you can use as well.
Ingredients
- Homemade or store bought Rice Krispie Treats. I use long pre-made bars that can be cut into 3 sections.
- 1 to 2 bags of candy melts
- Edible candy eye balls.
Instructions
- Follow directions on the candy melts packaging.
- Dip or spoon on melted chocolate onto the top portion of the Rice Krispie.
- Place on wax paper and apply candy eyeballs before the chocolate hardens and dries.
- Enjoy!
Isn’t this simple?! But now you know about this recipe think about the million different ways to enjoy these treats? For a classroom or work party, girl or boy scout meeting, a night at home or pretty much anywhere you want to bring a little dash of Halloween fun!
Oh, and did you see my Halloween survival guide for parents?
Thanks for stopping in and happy haunting!
Love,

I adore bad/good jokes, and anything rice krispie treat.
They’re adorable and the colorful melted chocolate is probably where my bliss level lies.
