Need a SUPER EASY and very budget-friendly Halloween treat that oh yes, also happens to LOOK AWESOME? Look no further than these Rice Krispies Halloween Peeps Pops!
Rice Krispies Halloween Peeps Pops
Rolling right along with awesome Halloween treats, I have a really fun one for you today. I love Rice Krispie treats, as I have shared many times. When time is on my side, I love making homemade Rice Krispie Treats to take to parties. When I am short on time OR when I want to dip the treats in chocolate, I opt for the pre-packaged Rice Krispie Treats. They are fairly uniform in shape and size and are a little harder than homemade treats. (This helps them hold up to the melted chocolate a little better.)
These adorable treats are portable, decorative, oh yeah, and they also taste great. Plus, let’s face it – people love food on a stick!
Let’s round up the supplies and get to work.
Rice Krispies Halloween Peeps Pops Supplies
(2) 8 ct boxes of Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats
16 Popsicle sticks OR Lollipop sticks OR festive paper straws
12 oz Wilton Bright White candy melts
Halloween Peeps
Halloween Sprinkles
Wax or parchment paper
Baking sheet
How to Make Halloween Peeps Pops
1. Line a large baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
2. Open each Rice Krispie Treat and discard the wrappers.
3. Insert one popsicle or lollipop stick into the base of each treat and place on the prepared baking sheet. (I used a popsicle stick to pre-make the hole – then inserted a paper straw that I had cut in half.) Once all the treats have a popsicle or lollipop stick, place the baking sheet in the fridge for 20 minutes. This gives the treats a chance to get extra firm, which is helpful before adding melted chocolate to them!
4. While the Rice Krispie Treats are in the refrigerator, start melting the candy melts.
If you are going to make a large quantity of these treats, I highly recommend using a candy melter! This little appliance melts the candy and then keeps it warm, giving you more time to work before it hardens.
5. Once the candy has melted, dip each Rice Krispie Treat into the melted chocolate coating.
6. Use a spoon if needed and then allow the excess melted chocolate to drip back into the bowl (or candy warmer). Place the treat on the baking sheet and add sprinkles or press a Peep into the warm candy. Repeat with all treats.
You can pop these treats in the refrigerator to help the chocolate harden. They can then be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 3 days.
Of course, these treats aren’t just for Halloween. You can customize them to fit just about any theme simply by swapping out the white chocolate for another color. Same thing for the sprinkles! Be creative!
