How do I make Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats?

Start by melting butter and marshmallows. Once smooth, mix in the cereal and press it into a dish. Then dip in candy melts, decorate, and add stitches for a fun Frankenstein look.

What’s the best way to decorate them?

Use candy melts for color and black sprinkles for hair. Royal icing eyes give personality, and black melted chocolate creates perfect stitches. Make each monster unique!

Can I make them ahead and store them?

Yes. Store in a sealed container at room temp for three days, or freeze individually wrapped bars for up to three months. Just thaw before serving.

How do I make them gluten- or dairy-free?

Choose gluten-free cereal and dairy-free butter. Then swap in vegan marshmallows and candy melts. It’s easy to adjust without changing the flavor or texture.
