Description
These Spider Web Cereal Treats are a festive twist on classic rice cereal bars, featuring gooey marshmallow, a layer of dark chocolate, and spooky white chocolate spider web decorations — perfect for Halloween.
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 bag (about 10 oz) marshmallows (e.g., Campfire® HallowMallows)
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
- 8 ounces dark chocolate, melted (chips or candy melts)
- 4 ounces white chocolate, melted (chips or candy melts)
Instructions
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and marshmallows.
- Microwave on high for 30 to 60 seconds until marshmallows puff and melt, watching closely to avoid overflow.
- Stir until smooth and butter is fully melted.
- Add the crisp rice cereal and stir until evenly coated.
- Butter a 9×9-inch baking dish and press the cereal mixture evenly into it.
- Pour the melted dark chocolate over the top and spread evenly. Let cool and set.
- Once set, cut into squares.
- Transfer melted white chocolate into a zip-top bag, snip a tiny corner, and pipe spider web designs onto each square.
- Let the white chocolate set before serving.
Notes
- Use a large bowl to prevent marshmallow overflow in the microwave.
- Milk or semi-sweet chocolate can be used instead of dark chocolate.
- Dairy-free options can make this allergy-friendly.
- Sprinkles or mini candies can be added before pressing into the pan.
- Bars can be made thinner or larger using a 9×13-inch pan.
