Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 package (10 oz) marshmallows
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Black decorating gel
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it with butter or cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the pan from heat and quickly fold in Rice Krispies cereal, stirring gently until the cereal is evenly coated with marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, press the mixture evenly and firmly into the pan.
- Allow the Rice Krispie mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
- Once cooled, cut the treats into rectangular shapes resembling mummy bodies.
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate over the Rice Krispie treats in diagonal strips to create a mummy-like bandage effect.
- Use black decorating gel to add two small eyes peeking through the white chocolate "bandages".
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed up the setting process if desired.
Tips
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture and melting consistency.
- Work quickly when mixing cereal into marshmallow mixture to prevent clumping.
- Grease your spatula or hands with butter to prevent sticking when pressing mixture into pan.
- For clean, precise cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it with a warm, damp cloth between slices.
- Melt white chocolate slowly and carefully to avoid burning.
- Use a squeeze bottle or piping bag for more controlled white chocolate "bandage" drizzling.
- Let treats cool completely before decorating to ensure clean, crisp mummy designs.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra fun, vary the eye placement to give each mummy a unique personality.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better overall texture.
