How to Make Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats

Halloween is one of our favorite times of year. Everything is spooky, scary, creepy, and, when talking about the snacks, delicious.

Candy is great and all, but nothing can beat a good Halloween themed Rice Krispie Treat. If you haven't made our Mummy, Eyeball, Ghost, or Graveyard Rice Krispie Treats yet, you definitely need to check them out. But our absolute favorite is this Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treat recipe.

To start out with this recipe, you need to know how to make our Green Rice Krispie Treats. Then you're just going to need some black icing, black decorating gel, some decorative candy eyeballs, and Miniature Baking sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Step One

Start out this recipe by melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a large stock pot. Set your heat to medium and give it a couple of minutes to melt before adding in your marshmallows.

Once the butter has mostly melted, add in a full 16 ounce bag of Jet Puff Marshmallows. Use a spatula to stir them into the melted butter. Continue until everything has melted together.

You can do a quicker version of this by following our Microwave Rice Krispie Treats recipe.

Now take your green food coloring and add it into the marshmallow mix. Stir until your marshmallows are the bright green color you desire.

Step Two

Now that everything is a bright, creepy, green color, it's time to get out your Rice Krispies cereal. Take 6 measured cups and dump them directly into the Marshmallows.

Once again, take your spatula and stir everything together until completely coated in green. If you need to add more green food coloring at this point, feel free to do so.

Step Three

With canola oil spray, coat the bottom an inside walls of a 9 x 13 baking pan. You can really use any kind of baking spray, we just prefer canola oil because it is flavorless and works very well.

Take the green marshmallow cereal mixture and add it into the pan. Smoosh everything down into the bottom of the pan until it is completely flat.

You can do this part quicker by sticking it in the refrigerator or the freezer. Otherwise, set your pan of treats to the side for about 15 to 20 minutes to allow them to cool.

Step Four

Once everything is sufficiently cooled, it is time to cut them. Using a sharp knife, cut your Rice Krispie Treats into 2 x 2 inch squares. One pan should give you about 15 to 16 treats.

Step Five

Decoration time!

Now take out your black icing, black decorative gel, candy decorative eyeballs, and your miniature baking Reese's peanut butter cups.

The first thing you want to do is take the peanut butter cups and put one on either side of Frankenstein's neck. Push them firmly until they sink into the marshmallow treat.

Next, take your decorative candy eyeballs and place them in the center of the treat. We like to do the eyeballs and neck bolts first, because the icing and gel can get kind of messy and you don't want to pick them up and handle them too much.

Now take out your black icing tube and put one thick strip across the top of the green square. This is Frankenstein's famous box top style hair.

Next, take the black decorating gel and put a strip across his forehead and give it some cross marks to look like stitches. If it looks like the lacing on a football, you've done it right.

Finally, again using the gel, it's time to add his mouth. You can give him a frown, an open shocked face, whatever you like. 

Repeat this process with all of your Rice Krispie Treats until you're finished.
