What is in Monster Rice Krispie Treats?
- Rice Krispie Treats – for the quickest recipe I love grabbing a box of rice krispie treats from the store and using them for this recipe. You can of course make your own homemade rice krispie treats instead.
- White Chocolate – to create the monster faces the rice krispie treats are dipped in melted white chocolate. You can also use colored candy melts instead.
- Food Coloring – I like to make blue, green and red monsters but you can use any color combination you like.
- Candy Eyes – if you can find a variety pack of candy eyes with different sizes those are really fun for the recipe.

Tips for the Best Monster Rice Krispie Treats
- Chocolate – for the best results after dipping the rice krispie treats in the colored chocolate place them on a piece of parchment paper and then add the candy eyes on top. Be sure to let the chocolate harden before trying to move them or else the candy eyes will slide off. As the chocolate hardens on the parchment paper it will peel right off, rather than placing them directly on a plate or cutting board.
- Food Coloring – you can get creative and use any color for the monsters. You can even dip the monsters in two different colors.
- Candy Eyes – I like using a variety of different sized candy eyes. They make the monsters look extra cute and creepy.
FAQs Monster Rice Krispie Treats
Store the treats in an air tight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. To avoid the chocolate melting and the candy eyes sliding off you can store them in the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before serving.
Yes! This recipe is perfect to make ahead of time for school snacks, Halloween parties and movie nights. You can even make them ahead and package them in individual Ziploc bags or plastic wrap to give out as treats. Make them up to 2-3 days in advance.
I would not recommend freezing the treats. The texture of the rice krispie treat changes when they are frozen and thawed.
Enjoy!
