Ingredients

Simplfy this recipe by having some parchment paper, piping bag and a 9x13 metal baking pan.
Variations
- Store-Bought: Buying pre-made treats for an even quicker shortcut.
- Brown Butter Base: Cook the butter longer for a nutty aroma and richer flavor.

How to Make Mummy Rice Krispie Treats
This festive Halloween recipe comes together with simple steps.
Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large pot over medium-low heat, melt butter, then add marshmallows and lower the heat.
Stir constantly, to prevent sticking, until melted.
Remove from heat and pour in Rice Krispies. Stir quickly until evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture pan and press evenly (note: you can use some butter or spray on your hands or a piece of parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking).
Allow them to cool in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes then cut the treats into as many individual pieces as desired (I like to do a mix of sizes).
Melt white chocolate in a heat-safe bowl in either a microwave (incrementally) or over a double boiler. Allow it to cool just slightly to safely transfer to a piping bag, then a bit of the tip off to make a small hole at the end.
Using the white chocolate as "glue", stick the eyeballs in place, then drizzle back and forth to make bandages, covering as much as desired.
Hint: Use parchment paper or wax paper to line your pan for easy removal and clean slicing.
Recipe Tips
- Work Quickly: Press the marshmallow mixture into the pan while warm for best results. I like to use parchment paper to prevent it sticking to my hands.
- Use a Piping Bag: Snip a tiny corner of the bag for thin mummy wrap lines.
- Don't Overheat Chocolate: Melt in short intervals in a microwave-safe bowl for smooth drizzle.
- Add Eyes First: Stick candy googly eyes on before drizzling the bandages for a secure hold.
For a spooky snack on the savory side, our Mummy Hot Dogs are always a hit.

Storage Instructions
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container, out of sunlight for 2-3 days, depending on how warm your house is as you do not want the chocolate to melt.
- Refrigerator: Not necessary, unless your house is overly warm, but will keep them slightly firmer if stored up to 5 days. The eyeballs can start to sweat once out of the fridge.
Serving Suggestions
- Halloween Party Food: Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars, Leftover Halloween Candy Cookies, Halloween Sangria, Spider Cookies and Halloween Crockpot Candy.

Use a sharp knife lightly sprayed with nonstick spray or butter for the cleanest cuts. Chilling them in the fridge helps too.
Definitely. Keep un-decorated squares at room temperature or in the fridge for a couple of days, then decorate just before, for the most freshness.
Use chocolate chips or small candies as a substitute, the end result will still be cute Halloween mummies.

- Press the marshmallow mixture into the pan while warm for best results. I like to use parchment paper to prevent it sticking to my hands.

- For larger cuts, 6 ounces of white chocolate works well. When making smaller cuts you create more surface area (on the sides), so bump to 8 ounces for full coverage.
