Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 20 premade Rice Krispies Treats
- 12 oz. package of orange candy melting wafers (or colored white dipping chocolate)
- 12 oz. package of blue candy melting wafers (or colored white dipping chocolate)
- 1/3 cup orange sprinkles
- 1/3 cup blue sprinkles
- Candy eyes (2 different sizes)
- Cake pop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare workspace: Line a baking sheet, countertop, or table with parchment paper to set the treats as they dry. Ensure enough space to lay out all 20 treats at once or plan to work in batches, allowing each batch to dry fully before moving them.
- Insert sticks: Unwrap each Rice Krispies Treat. Skewer each treat by pressing a cake pop stick about halfway into the short end of the treat, ensuring it is secure for dipping.
- Set sprinkles: Pour orange sprinkles into one bowl and blue sprinkles into another. Place these near the prepared work area for easy access when decorating.
- Melt candy wafers: Place each color of candy melting wafers in separate microwave-safe bowls. Microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments, stirring each time until wafers are thoroughly melted and smooth.
- Dip treats: Working with one color at a time, dip half of the treats into the melted candy coating. Submerge about two-thirds of the treat while holding it upside down by the stick. Let excess candy melt drip off for about 5 seconds. Use a spoon to help coat treats if the melted candy runs low.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately after dipping, dip the top portion of each treat into the matching color of sprinkles, then lay the treats on the parchment paper.
- Decorate with eyes: Before the coating hardens, place candy eyes onto each treat creatively—some can be cyclops with one eye, others can have multiple eyes for a fun monster effect.
- Allow drying: Let the coated treats dry for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. Once fully set, store them in an airtight container or resealable bag to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Work quickly when dipping to prevent candy melts from hardening before coating all treats.
- If needed, reheat candy melts in short increments to keep them smooth.
- Store treats at room temperature in an airtight container; they are best enjoyed within 3-4 days.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking during drying.
