Step-by-Step Instructions
These treats are surprisingly simple to make. Ready to get wrapping?
Step 1: Create the Rice Krispie Base
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
Step 2: Set the Treats
Butter a 9×13 inch baking pan. Evenly press the Rice Krispie mixture into the prepared pan. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to help spread the mixture and avoid sticky fingers. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Make the Mummies
Once firm, cut the Rice Krispie treats into 10 rectangular pieces—these are your mummy shapes! Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring until smooth. Dab a little melted chocolate on the back of each candy eyeball and attach two eyes to each Rice Krispie treat.
Step 4: Wrap the Mummies
Transfer the melted white chocolate to a ziplock bag. Snip a small corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the mummies in a random, wrap-like pattern. Let the chocolate set completely. If you’re short on time, pop them back in the fridge to speed things up.
Better-Than-Grandma Tips
Here are a few tips to make your Mummy Rice Krispie Treats even better:
- Butter Up: Grease your hands or the spatula with a little extra butter to prevent sticking when pressing the treats into the pan. For easier clean-up, line the pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. You can lift the entire batch out once it sets and then cut! Check our tips on lining baking pans for a step-by-step guide.
- Melting Magic: Don’t overheat the white chocolate—short bursts in the microwave are best. Stir frequently until smooth.
- Eye Spy: If you can’t find candy eyeballs, mini chocolate chips make a great substitute. Or get creative with other candies!
Try These Variations
Want to switch things up? Here are a few fun variations:
- Chocolate Mummies: Use Cocoa Krispies instead of regular Rice Krispies for a chocolatey twist. Drizzle with dark chocolate instead of white for a twist!
- Fruity Monster Treats: Make the base with Fruity Pebbles cereal and drizzle with orange or green candy melts. Skip the eyes, or use sprinkles for spots!
- Rainbow Wrapped Mummies: Use different colors of candy melts for drizzling, creating vibrant rainbow mummies. How about a little food coloring in the white chocolate? Get the kids involved! Check our other ideas for creative recipes on the lunch ideas page!
