A modern twist on a classic childhood snack, these treats feature a silky white chocolate and marshmallow base mixed with crispy rice cereal and festive candy corn for a perfect balance of sweet and crunchy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)
  • 10 ounces (about 4 cups) large marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup high-quality white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • Pinch of flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray and line with parchment paper for easy removal.
  2. In a large pot over low heat, melt the 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter, stirring occasionally until fully melted.
  3. Add the 10 ounces of marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth, keeping heat low to prevent burning.
  4. Add the 1 cup of white chocolate chips to the melted marshmallow mixture and stir continuously until fully melted and combined, creating a glossy, smooth mixture.
  5. Remove the pot from heat and immediately add the 6 cups of crispy rice cereal, folding gently but thoroughly to ensure every piece is coated.
  6. Gently fold in the 1 cup of candy corn, being careful not to crush the pieces.
  7. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly and evenly using a greased spatula or greased hands, avoiding over-pressing to maintain texture.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour to firm up; do not refrigerate.
  9. Lift the treats out of the pan using the parchment paper, cut into squares or bars, and serve.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and fresh marshmallows for best results. Keep heat low when melting to prevent burning or seizing. Do not refrigerate as it makes treats too hard. For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free cereal. For a dairy-free option, substitute butter with coconut oil and use dairy-free white chocolate chips.
