This is one of the easiest Halloween upgrades for your Rice Krispies treats. These edible monsters are colorful, so fun for kids, and an extra-sweet treat. All you need to do is dunk half of your Rice Krispies treat into a bright and colorful candy melt and add edible eye candies before they set. You can make monsters with one big eye, more than ten eyes, or mismatched eyes. You can even add sprinkles and additional chocolate for more details.

This Halloween crispy rice treat variation is an absolute must. It is pumpkin spice season, after all. Here's how you can add pumpkin spice flavor to your traditional Rice Krispies treat recipe.

1. While your butter and marshmallows are melting, measure out ⅛ cup of pumpkin puree, 1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice, and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon.
2. Once your mixture is melted, add the pumpkin and the spices.
3. Mix well.
4. Add orange food coloring (or red and yellow food coloring to make orange) before pouring in your rice cereal.
5. Proceed with your recipe as usual.

This might be the easiest way to make your crispy rice treats look scary (and stilly yummy) for Halloween. All you need to do is add a large amount of black food coloring to your wet mixture before adding in your rice cereal. We suggest using black gel food coloring and starting with about ½ teaspoon to get that spooky jet black color.
