Spooky Halloween Mummy Treats Kids Will Love
Halloween mummy treats are both ghoulish and sweet treats that are also a cinch to make. Melt some chocolate, dip some Rice Krispie squares, and decorate. Perfect for sharing with your favorite little monsters.
Ingredients
- 12 small store-bought or homemade Rice Krispies treats cut into rectangles or granola bars
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- Mild vegetable oil, if needed to thin the chocolate
- Eyeball candy, sugar pearls, or tiny candy discs
- Red edible piping gel or icing , optional
- Black edible piping gel or icing
Instructions
- Dump the chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and zap at 50 percent power (medium heat) for 90 seconds. Stir.
- Continue to microwave at 50 percent power in 20-second increments, stirring after each zap, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
☞ TESTER TIP: Depending on the quality of your white chocolate, you might need to thin it with a bit of oil. Slowly dribble in oil until you get a dipping consistency.
- Dip the Rice Krispie treats in the chocolate, taking care to coat the front and sides fully. (Their behinds don't need to be coated.)
- Place the treats, uncoated-side down, on a small baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If using candy eyes, sugar pearls, or candy discs, press them into the chocolate to set.
☞ TESTER TIP: If you find it awkward to dip the treats into the bowl of melted chocolate, transfer some of the chocolate to a small rectangular container to make dipping easier.
- Dip and coat the remaining treats. Slide the baking sheet in the refrigerator to cool until the chocolate is firm, 5 to 7 minutes.
- While the mummies are chilling out, spoon the remaining melted chocolate into a a resealable plastic bag or a small piping bag fitted with a small plain tip.
- Remove the mummies from the fridge. Snip off a tiny corner of the bag with scissors. Gently squeeze the bag to drizzle chocolate in zigzag patterns to create the mummy bandages wrap look.
- For a bloodshot look, squeeze two dots of red piping gel for eyes, then top with black piping gel.
- The mummies can be stored in an airtight container--away from tiny hands--for up to 1 week. (Um, yeah, good luck with that.)
Notes
A Fiendishly Creepy Serving Suggestion
One fun way the serves these is to create a haunted crypt, by sprinkling cocoa powder in the bottom of a shoe box, and piling these dastardly mummies on top.
Adding little figurines of cats (there were worshipped in ancient Egypt) or small chests or tiny urns will up the spooky ante.
[Insert creepy laugh here!]
