The Best (and easiest) Spooky Halloween Treat Ever
Halloween is creeping around the corner, and it’s time to whip up some spooky (yet sweet!) treats that are so simple, they’re practically magic. Whether you’re prepping for a monster bash or a cozy night in with family, these easy Halloween Rice Krispies ghosts will bring the perfect dose of spookiness to your festivities!
Here’s what you need:
Rice Krispies Treats – You can go homemade if you’re feeling fancy, or grab the pre-made ones to save time. (No judgment here; we’re all for quick treats that deliver!)
Candy Melts – Pick your favorite Halloween colors! I went with a soft, ghostly pink and classic white from Wilton Cakes, but feel free to haunt it up with whatever colors call to you.
Edible Eyeballs – Because every spooky ghost needs a pair of watchful eyes! 🎃 You can grab these in the baking aisle or online.
Let’s get boo-zy!
Melt the Candy Melts: Follow the instructions on the package to get that perfectly smooth, dunkable texture. (Tip: a quick zap in the microwave usually does the trick!)
Dip & Drip: Dunk your Rice Krispies Treats halfway into the melted candy. Go for full coverage, or do a little half-dip to create a ghostly effect. Place them on parchment paper to let the candy harden up.
Add Those Eyes: While the candy coating is still soft, press on those edible eyeballs! The trick is to give each treat its own personality—some will look like they’ve just spotted a bat in the belfry, while others have a more relaxed haunt going on.
Let It Set: Give the treats a few minutes to cool and harden. They’re ready to serve when the candy is firm to the touch and those eyes are firmly in place, watching everyone who dares to reach for one.

These Halloween Rice Krispies Treats are perfect for little hands, making them an ideal family activity! Kids can go wild with the dipping and decorating, and adults will love how easy and quick they are.
So, whether you’re a trick-or-treat traditionalist or you’re just here for the sweet side of spooky, these Halloween treats are guaranteed to be a hit!
