Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats are the perfect Halloween party treats! This is a basic Rice Krispie treats recipe, with a drizzle of chocolate and candy corn added for a festive Halloween touch. Add popsicle sticks to them so make chocolate rice cripsy treats on a stick!
Admittedly, I’m not into celebrating Halloween very much, but I do love Halloween treats. Oh, and of course, all things pumpkin! Desserts like donut spiders and Halloween pumpkin brownies are always tasty, so why not?
And I’ve always been a fan of rice crispy treats. Especially when chocolate is added to them! So, today’s recipe combines my love for chocolate rice crispy treats into an easy Halloween treat idea.
How to Make Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats
Nearly everyone I know has made rice crispy treats at least once in their life, but for those of you who haven’t made them yet, now is the time! They’re so flipping easy to make – just 3 ingredients needed to make basic Krispie treats, plus chocolate and candy corn to transform them into easy Halloween chocolate rice crispy treats. You’re going to need:
- marshmallows (standard size or mini marshmallows will work, but mini marshmallows melt easier)
- crispy rice cereal
- unsalted butter
- candy corn
- chocolate chips (whatever variety you like the best)
How to Make Halloween Krispie Treat Pops
If you want to make these into krispie treat pops, just make the rice crispy treats recipe as shown below, then use Halloween cookie cutters to make fun shapes. Insert a food safe popsicle stick into the bottom of each treat while they are still relatively soft.

Chocolate Rice Crispy Treats for Halloween
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cups mini marshmallows*
- 6 cups crispy rice cereal
- 2 cups candy corn
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Grease an 8 x 11-inch baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
- Melt butter and marshmallows in a large heavy bottomed pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until well combined.
- Remove pot from heat and stir in crispy rice cereal to combine. Working quickly, stir in most of the candy corn, reserving about 1/4 cup for the top of the treats. Using the back of a buttered wooden spoon or your buttered hands, press mixture evenly into baking pan. While treats are still warm, press additional candy corn pieces into the top of the treats.
- Using a microwave or double burner, melt chocolate chips. Transfer melted chocolate to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip, or to a small zip top plastic bag with one corner snipped off. Drizzle chocolate across the bars.
- Allow chocolate to set before slicing treats into squares. Alternatively, use cookie cutters to make fun shapes from the Krispie treats.
