Halloween Rice Krispie Treats

Mummy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

October 5, 2020 by Laura Tucker Leave a Comment

These Mummy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats are a spook-tacular treat to serve this Halloween! They’re not your average rice krispie treats, either. They’re packed with peanut butter goodness, plus a smidge of white chocolate that makes them frighteningly scrumptious!

Mummy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Halloween is lurking right around the corner, and I’ve been conjuring up a little Halloween-magic in the kitchen this weekend getting my girls into the spooky-spirit! My oldest really loves rice krispie treats, so we put together these delicious Mummy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats using a slightly more sophisticated version of traditional rice krispie treats. 

For these treats, I used my White Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats recipe that I shared here a few weeks ago. Instead of these rice krispie treats having a sticky texture, they have a creamy and smooth bite to them thanks to a blend of chunky peanut butter and white chocolate almond bark! Add a little drizzle over the top to create a “mummified” look and a few candy eyes and you’ve got an instant Halloween hit! 

Here’s a better look at the recipe if you’d like to give it a try!

Mummy Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb white almond bark (note: most packages are 1 lb exactly)
  • 1 cup crunchy peanut butter
  • 3 1/2 cups rice krispies cereal
  • 1 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • extra melted white almond bark for drizzle
  • Candy eyes

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, melt white almond bark and peanut butter together, stirring frequently
  • In a large bowl, combine cereal and marshmallows
  • Once peanut butter mixture is melted, pour over cereal and stir until well combined and marshmallows are melted
  • Spray 8x8 baking dish or brownie pan with non-stick cooking spray
  • Pour mixture into pan and gently press down with the back of a spoon to flatten and fill the space of the pan
  • Allow to set for 2-3 hours, or until treats are dried enough to hold their shape when cut
  • Melt additional almond bark (just a little bit will do!) and drizzle over treats to make the mummy wraps. While the almond bark is still wet, add candy eyes.
  • Enjoy!

Halloween Hack: There’s no need to cast a spell on your treats to get them to cut evenly every time! When making brownies and rice krispie treats, I love to use this brownie pan with a built in slicer to get perfect portions every time!

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

These Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats so hauntingly good, you’ll snap, crackle and pop for more! 

Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

A few weeks ago I shared a recipe for White Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats, and ever since then I’ve had this slight obsession with finding more ways to capture those flavors and textures in other treats. Peanut butter and chocolate go together better than just about anything in this world, and adding in the light crispy and crunchy flakes from rice cereal creates this irresistible concoction that good right down to the bone.

Double Chocolate & Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

These aren’t your typical back-of-the-box rice krispie treats, but don’t let that frighten you away from making them! You can certainly make these with original rice cereal, but I reached for the cocoa krispies to make these chocolaty treats instead. You’ll also need half of a package of chocolate almond bark, a cup of peanut butter, a cup of Reese’s Pieces and miniature marshmallows.
Double Chocolate & Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Using a double boiler (I called it my cauldron when making Halloween treats) 😉 melt down 1/2 of a package of chocolate almond bark. Add in the cup of peanut butter and stir until it’s perfectly creamy and smooth. Add in cereal, marshmallows and candy in a large bowl. Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal and stir until everything is well coated.

Pour into a well greased brownie pan or 8×8 casserole dish. Pro tip: Spray your hand or the back of a spoon with nonstick cooking spray so you can press the mixture down evenly into the pan without making a total mess.

Here’s a free printable copy of the recipe if you’d like to give it a try!

Double Chocolate & Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 cups coco rice krispies cereal
  • 1 lb chocolate almond bark (most packages of almond bark contain 2 lbs, so just break 1 package in half)
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 2 cups miniature marshmallows
  • 1 cup Reese's pieces

Instructions

  • In a double boiler, melt chocolate almond bark and stir continuously until smooth
  • Add in peanut butter and stir until well combined
  • In a large bowl, combine cereal, marshmallows and Reese's Pieces
  • Pour melted chocolate and peanut butter over cereal mixture and stir until well combined
  • Spray a brownie pan or 8X8 baking dish thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray
  • Pour mixture into pan and press into all corners using your hand or a well greased spoon to make sure mixture spreads as evenly as possible
  • While mixture is still wet, add a few more candy pieces and cereal for garnish if desired
  • Allow to sit on counter until mixture firms up enough to cut - at least 2 hours
  • Cut into squares and enjoy!

Also, if you’re looking for a fool-proof way to get perfect and evenly cut bars, use a brownie pan like this one! I own this same one, and it’s a workhorse in my kitchen. 

Once the treats have dried and set, just slice and serve!  These Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Krispie Treats go great with a tall glass of milk, and they’re perfect to serve for Halloween or fall celebrations!
