Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are a festive, no-bake dessert made with layered yellow, orange, and white Rice Krispies to mimic the look of candy corn—perfect for Halloween and fall gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 9 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided into 3 portions of 3 tbsp each)
  • 15 cups mini marshmallows (divided into 3 portions of 5 cups each)
  • 9 cups Rice Krispies cereal (divided into 3 portions of 3 cups each)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, divided into 3 portions)
  • Yellow food coloring
  • Orange food coloring
  • 1/2 cup white candy melts or white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
  • Candy corn (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9-inch round or square pan with parchment paper or grease lightly.
  2. Divide ingredients into three equal parts for each layer (yellow, orange, white).
  3. In a saucepan, melt 3 tbsp of butter over low heat. Add 5 cups of marshmallows and stir until melted. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring and 1/3 tsp vanilla if using. Stir in 3 cups of cereal until well coated.
  4. Press the yellow mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan using a buttered spatula or wax paper.
  5. Repeat with the orange layer: melt butter and marshmallows, add orange food coloring and cereal, then press over the yellow layer.
  6. Repeat for the white layer: melt butter and marshmallows, skip coloring, stir in cereal, and press over the orange layer.
  7. Let the treats cool completely at room temperature.
  8. Optional: Drizzle melted white chocolate or candy melts over the top and garnish with candy corn.
  9. Cut into triangles (for round pan) or squares (for square pan) and serve.

Notes

  • Use gel food coloring for more vibrant hues with less moisture.
  • Press layers gently while still warm so they stick together properly.
  • Drizzle with white chocolate and add candy corn for extra festive flair.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
