Everyone has heard of Rice Krispie Treats, they are an American classic. But even with their familiar taste, the old rectangles are lacking a little snap, crackle, and pop!

So I put my thinking cap on and started brainstorming about a cute way to make this old standard a little more custom, especially for the holidays... And let me tell you, these dark chocolate dipped black cats are AMAZING!

Dark Chocolate Black Cat Halloween Rice Krispie Treats

You've probably made Rice Krispie Treats before, but if not, rest assured, they are pretty simple. With only 3 ingredients, you can have this recipe firming up in about 3 minutes or less. That makes it perfect for a busy afternoon!

I used organic crispy rice, homemade marshmallows, and grass-fed butter for this recipe, along with my homemade honey chocolate. But use whatever version of each ingredient that you want and enjoy these delicious (and adorable) Halloween rice krispie treats!

Grab the Cat Cookie Cutter I used!

Check out this video to see the full process and then the printable recipe below that!

Ingredients

  • 3 Tbsp Butter
  • 6 Cups Crispy Rice Cereal
  • 1 - 10 oz bag Marshmallows or make your own marshmallows
  • 1 - 12 oz bag Dark Chocolate Chips
  • 1 bag Candy Corn Pumpkins

  • Shallow Baking Sheet

Instructions

  • In a glass bowl, over a double boiler (or in the microwave), melt butter and marshmallows. Stirring frequently.
  • Add Cereal and mix well.

  • Cut pumpkins in half.
  • Melt chocolate chips in glass bowl, over double boiler (or in microwave).
  • While chocolate is melting, place treats in the freezer for about 5 minutes. This makes them easier to cut out!

  • Let firm until chocolate is solid.
  • Use yellow icing to make eyes. Serve and enjoy!

    Quick question. When you made these with your homemade marshmallows (which i made yesterday :)) did it require just one batch of your marshmallows or a double batch?
    Thanks so much

      Hi Trisha! I usually measure out the 10oz of homemade marshmallows to keep with the recipe. That should be about a batch, but might be slightly less. It’s been a while since I made them!

      But yes, measuring is what I do in this case! I hope that helps!
