Description
## Better-Than-Grandma Tips
Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the candy melts smoothly. This will prevent scorching. Be sure to follow the instructions on the package.
If your candy melts are too thick, add a teaspoon of shortening or coconut oil to thin them out. Check out our guide to making chocolate bark for more candy melt tips!
For easier dipping, use a fork or toothpick to hold the rice krispie treat.
Refrigerate the treats after dipping to help the chocolate set quickly.
Ingredients
- Rice Krispies Treats
- Green Candy Melts
- Candy Eyes
- Jimmies
- Green Nonpareil Sprinkles
- Oreos
- Hershey’s Kisses
Instructions
- Melt the green candy melts according to the package directions. A double boiler works best for melting chocolate.
- Dip each rice krispie treat into the melted green candy. Use a spatula or spoon to smooth out the chocolate. Attach the candy eyes and jimmies to create the witch’s face and hair. Add a few green nonpareil sprinkles for warts.
- Place the decorated rice krispie treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
- While the treats are chilling, twist open the Oreos and remove the cream filling. Transfer the remaining melted green candy to a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a corner snipped off. Pipe a small amount of melted candy onto the Oreo logo and top with a Hershey’s Kiss.
- Once the chocolate on the rice krispie treats has hardened, attach the Oreo hats using a dab of melted candy. Let the hats set completely before serving.

Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Melt the Chocolate
Melt the green candy melts according to the package directions. A double boiler works best for melting chocolate.
Step 2: Dip and Decorate
Dip each rice krispie treat into the melted green candy. Use a spatula or spoon to smooth out the chocolate. Attach the candy eyes and jimmies to create the witch’s face and hair. Add a few green nonpareil sprinkles for warts.
Step 3: Chill
Place the decorated rice krispie treats on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has set.
Step 4: Make the Hats

Can I use a different color of candy melts?
Green candy melts provide the best color for the witch’s face, but you can use any color you like. Purple, black, or orange would also be fun!
Can I make these treats in advance?
Absolutely! These treats can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
What can I use instead of jimmies for the hair?
If you don’t have jimmies, you can use sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or even crushed Oreos for the witch’s hair.
What if I can’t find candy eyes?
You can use candy eyes of any size. Mini chocolate chips or even dots of melted chocolate would also work.
