A quick and simple recipe combining candy corn, marshmallows, and Rice Krispies cereal to create festive, chewy treats perfect for fall gatherings and seasonal snacking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal (about 180 grams)
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows (about 280 grams)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened (about 42 grams)
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups candy corn (about 150–200 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • A pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
  3. Add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and fully melted, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Remove the pan from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Quickly fold in 1 to 1 ½ cups of candy corn, allowing it to soften but not melt completely.
  6. Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies cereal and stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the cereal with the marshmallow mixture.
  7. Using greased hands or a buttered spatula, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan without packing too tightly.
  8. Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm.
  9. Cut into squares or fun shapes and serve immediately or store for later.

Notes

Melt marshmallows over low heat to avoid burning. Add candy corn off the heat to keep its shape and color. Use greased hands or a buttered spatula to press the mixture to avoid sticking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Variations include adding chocolate chips, using gluten-free cereal, or vegan marshmallows.
