Spider and Owl Krispie Treats
These Spider and Owl Krispie Treats are a fun and festive delight! Perfect for Halloween or any whimsical occasion, they're sure to steal the show!
Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 cups Cocoa Pebbles
- 1 bag mini marshmallows (10.5 oz)
- 1/4 cup butter
- Garnishes pretzel sticks, mini marshmallows, orange taffy, or Tootsie Rolls
Instructions
- Start by lining a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper. This will help you easily lift out the treats once they have set.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly add the Cocoa Pebbles to the melted marshmallow mixture. Stir until all the cereal is fully coated.
- Using a greased spatula or your hands (dampened slightly to prevent sticking), press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Make sure to pack it down firmly for a good shape.
- Allow the mixture to cool and set for about 30 minutes. Once set, you can cut it into squares or any shape you like. For the spiders and owls, you might want to cut them into larger rectangles to accommodate the decorations.
- Now comes the fun part! To make the spiders, use pretzel sticks for legs and mini marshmallows for the body. You can stick the pretzel legs into the sides of the treat to create a spider shape. For the owls, use orange taffy or Tootsie Rolls for beaks and additional mini marshmallows for eyes. Get creative and let your imagination run wild!
