Easy Mummy Rice Krispies Treat Recipe

Mummy Rice Krispies, an easy no-bake treat, that will upgrade your whole month of October. These gooey, extra marshmallowy rice krispie treats are infused with a secret ingredient: warm, caramelized browned butter. Dipped in white chocolate and decorated to resemble adorable mummies, they’re the perfect addition to any Halloween party.

Step One: Start by browning your butter in a saucepan (see below for step-by-step browning instructions).

Step Two: Add 12 ounces of mini marshmallows to the hot, browned butter and mix until melted.

Step Three: Once the marshmallows are fully melted, add 12 cups of Rice Krispies cereal to a large mixing bowl.

Step Four: Add the melted marshmallow to the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until combined.

Step Five: Stir until all the cereal is covered with melted marshmallow.

Step Six: Add 8 ounces of mini marshmallows to the warm Rice Krispies and fold in, leaving them whole.

Step Seven: Add the cereal treat to a prepared 9×13 pan (sprayed with non-stick spray and lined with parchment paper). Press into the pan until the treat is in an even layer.

Step Eight: Cool and then cut into even squares.

Step Nine: Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave slowly (30 seconds at a time) until smooth. Dip one side of the Rice Krispies in the melted white chocolate.

Step Ten: Drip the leftover white chocolate off and then set it on a parchment paper to cool.

Step Eleven: Repeat until all treats are dipped in chocolate, and let them set.

Step Twelve: With the leftover melted chocolate, use a piping bag to pipe on wrapping like drizzles. Stick on two candy eyes. Let it sit before serving.

How do I achieve the perfect browned butter?

Mastering the art of browning butter can transform your cooking, making the process enjoyable and worry-free. Begin by placing your butter in a small saucepan over a medium flame until it melts completely. Shortly after melting, the butter will enter a boiling phase, accompanied by a series of popping sounds. These sounds are crucial cues during the browning process, so pay attention.

As the boiling continues, a thick foam will develop, yet the popping will persist. At this point, it’s essential to stay close and listen attentively. The moment the popping ceases, while at the same time the foam remains, it signifies it’s the time to remove the butter from the heat.

By gently stirring the butter, you’ll notice brown specks appearing through the foam, accompanied by a rich, nutty aroma. This indicates that your browned butter is ready.

Brown Butter is Best in Rice Krispies

Browning the butter gives it a caramel-like flavor, transforming a classic recipe into something gourmet and adding warmth and richness to each bite. I always prefer browned butter in my Rice Krispies treats to melted butter. It adds a whole other level of flavor.

Extra Soft Rice Krispies

Using extra marshmallows and melted browned butter makes the treats softer and gooier. Adding the marshmallows into two parts keeps some whole while enhancing the chewy texture.

Storage Tips

These mummy treats are best stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

Refrigeration– You can refrigerate for longer freshness.

Freezing– These treats can be frozen if wrapped individually in plastic wrap and stored in an airtight container for up to two months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.

Making Ahead– You can make the rice krispie base a day in advance, then decorate it with melted chocolate and candy eyes on the day of your event.

Serving Suggestions

Serve these treats at Halloween parties or package them individually in cute bags for school treats! They’re also great for family movie nights featuring Halloween classics. Or add on a treat tray with Pumpkin Cinnamon Cookies for an October gathering.
