Add a little twist to your festive treat collection with these mouth-watering Halloween rice krispie treats. Combining the indulgence of cookie dough with the chewiness rice krispie treats, this dessert is sure to become a staple in your Halloween fun.
Heat Treating the Flour: Before starting, it's essential to heat treat the flour to ensure it's safe to eat. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the flour on a baking sheet in an even layer. Bake in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely before using. This process will kill any potential bacteria, making the flour safe for consumption in no-bake recipes.
Add the butter in a large pot, and melt over medium heat. When melted, reduce the heat to low and whisk in marshmallows. Once the mixture has completely melted, stir in salt and puffed rice cereal.
Line a 9 x 13 inch pan with parchment paper. Press the puffed rice mixture into the pan and let set for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, make cookie dough by creaming softened butter with sugars in a medium bowl with an electric mixer or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Once pale and fluffy, add milk, vanilla, salt, and flour. Mix until dough forms. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Spread cookie dough over set puffed rice mixture. Refrigerate 30 minutes, or until cookie dough sets.
Slice into squares.
Melt the white chocolate and dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Dip rice krispie treats into melted chocolates and decorate with sprinkles. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens.
To make mummies:
Dip rice krispie treats into the melted white chocolate, making sure to coat all sides. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Place treats in refrigerator for 5 minutes for chocolate to set. Fill a small zip top bag or piping bag with remaining melted chocolate. Snip a tiny bit off one of the bottom corners. Drizzle chocolate over treats in a zig-zag patten to create "mummy" look. Add 2 candy eyes or 2 mini chocolate chips for eyes and return to refrigerator for another 5 minutes.
