Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 Rice Krispies Treats 22 g each
  • 4 jumbo marshmallows
  • 16 candy eyeballs
  • 8 popsicle sticks

Equipment

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Microwave-safe plate
  • Parchment paper
  • Airtight container

Method
 

  1. Shape the Rice Krispies Treats:
    Unwrap each Rice Krispies Treat and carefully insert a popsicle stick into the bottom. Gently press and shape the treat around the stick to create a simple mummy body with a rounded head at the top.
  2. Add the Eyes:
    Press two candy eyeballs into the front of each treat, positioning them near the top of the mummy’s head. Refrigerate the treats for about 1 hour to help them firm up and stay securely on the sticks.
  3. Prepare the Marshmallow:
    Place one jumbo marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for about 10 seconds, or just until it becomes soft and stretchy. Let it cool briefly so it is comfortable to handle while remaining flexible.
  4. Create the Mummy Bandages:
    Using your fingers, carefully pull and stretch small portions of the softened marshmallow into thin strands. Work gently, as the marshmallow will be sticky and stretchy.
  5. Wrap the Mummies:
    Drape and wrap the marshmallow strands around each Rice Krispies Treat, overlapping them slightly to create the look of mummy bandages. Keep the candy eyes uncovered so they remain clearly visible. If the marshmallow becomes too firm or difficult to stretch, microwave it briefly again or use a fresh marshmallow.
  6. Let Them Set:
    Place the finished mummy treats on parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate until the marshmallow has completely set and is no longer sticky. Serve once the decorations are firm.
