What Do These Mummies Taste Like?

Imagine the chewy, marshmallow-y goodness of Rice Krispie treats, topped with creamy white chocolate and a hint of vanilla. The combination of textures—the crisp cereal and smooth chocolate—makes every bite a delightful treat. Plus, the decorative “mummy” drizzle of chocolate adds an extra layer of sweetness that’s absolutely irresistible!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make these fun, spooktacular treats:

• 6 snack-size Rice Krispie treats – You can use store-bought for ease or homemade if you’re feeling crafty.
• 3 cups white chocolate chips – These will coat the mummies and provide the “bandages.”
• Black edible piping gel or icing – To make the eyes, which give the mummies their signature spooky look.

Optional Additions:

• Red food coloring – For a bloodshot eye effect that adds some extra creepy vibes.

Tools You’ll Need

To get started, you’ll need the following:

• Microwave-safe bowl
• Spoon for stirring the melted chocolate
• Scissors to snip the bag for the mummy wrap
• A zip-lock bag for drizzling the white chocolate
• A small baking sheet lined with foil for cooling the treats
• Piping gel or a small icing tip for making the eyes

Ingredient Additions and Substitutions

Feel free to get creative with this recipe! Here are a few fun ways to customize your Rice Krispie Treat Mummies:

• Chocolate lovers: Swap out the white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate to give your mummies a different look and flavor.
• Add some color: Mix in some food coloring with the white chocolate to create colorful mummy wrappings. Green or purple would be especially spooky!
• Googly eyes: Instead of piping gel, use edible candy eyes for an extra whimsical touch. These can easily be found at most craft or grocery stores near the cake decorating supplies.

How to Make Rice Krispie Treat Mummies

Now, let’s dive into how to make these delightful little Halloween treats! Follow these easy steps:

Step 1: Prepare the Rice Krispie Treats

Unwrap your snack-size Rice Krispie treats and set them aside. If you prefer to make your own Rice Krispie treats from scratch, simply follow the classic recipe and cut them into small rectangles once cooled.

Step 2: Melt the White Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, add your white chocolate chips. Microwave them on half power for about 2 minutes. Stir the chocolate and return it to the microwave, heating in 20-second increments (still on half power), stirring after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Step 3: Coat the Rice Krispie Treats

Dip each Rice Krispie treat into the melted white chocolate, making sure to coat the front and sides (it’s okay to leave the back uncovered). Place each treat, uncovered side down, onto a foil-lined plate or baking sheet.

Step 4: Cool the Treats

Once all your treats are coated, place the plate or baking sheet into the fridge or freezer for 2-3 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Step 5: Create the Mummy Wrap

Spoon the remaining melted white chocolate into a small zip-lock bag. Snip off a tiny bit of one bottom corner of the bag to create a piping tool. Drizzle the chocolate in a random pattern over the treats to mimic mummy bandages.

Step 6: Add the Mummy Eyes

Using your black edible piping gel or icing, add two small dots to each Rice Krispie treat to create mummy eyes. For an extra creepy effect, dip a Q-tip into red food coloring and dab two tiny dots before adding the eyes for a “bloodshot” look.

Step 7: Chill and Serve

Return your mummies to the fridge or freezer for another 1-2 minutes to fully set. Serve immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to one week.

What to Serve with Rice Krispie Treat Mummies

While these Rice Krispie Mummies are perfect on their own, here are a few pairing ideas to create a complete Halloween snack spread:

• Spooky Punch: Serve these alongside a bubbling Halloween punch made with green sherbet and soda.
• Halloween-Themed Fruit Tray: Pair with jack-o’-lantern-shaped orange slices or ghost bananas for a healthier treat.
• Cupcakes: Decorate cupcakes with Halloween-colored frosting and candy for a festive dessert table.

Pro Tips for Making the Perfect Mummies

1. Use room temperature Rice Krispie treats: Cold or frozen treats may cause the chocolate to harden too quickly, making it difficult to drizzle the mummy bandages.
2. Don’t rush the cooling process: Giving your treats a few minutes in the fridge or freezer between steps helps the chocolate set properly and makes the final drizzle easier.
3. Have fun with the decorations: The more random and messy the chocolate drizzle, the more authentic your mummies will look!

Storage Instructions

These mummies will last up to one week when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you want to keep them longer, store them in the fridge—but keep in mind that this may slightly affect the texture of the Rice Krispie treats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use homemade Rice Krispie treats?

Yes! If you want to make your mummies more colorful, feel free to use any color of chocolate melts.
