About the Recipe

I have been making rice krispies at home for a long time. I have also seen recipes of store-bought rice krispies being turned into different kinds of pops. So I decided to make my own version of the Rice Krispie pops. For this recipe I made the rice krispies at home and then decorated it. It is that simple and basic.

This recipe is so cool that along with the kids, even the adults will enjoy it. The proportion of this recipe is such that you can churn out a large batch of krispie pops and can use them for Halloween parties or kids’ parties at school.

Ingredients to Make Rice Krispies

Rice Krispie Cereal: is the main ingredient for this recipe. You can either use the Kellogg’s brand or store brand rice krispies.

Marshmallows: is the ingredient that adds sweetness and allows the rice krispies to mold into the shape you want.

Butter: I use a small amount of butter, to keep the texture of rice krispie soft.

Ingredients for the Rice Krispie Pops

Candy Melts: since this is a Halloween themed pop, I used orange candy melts. Other colors of candy melts I would suggest that you can use are black, dark green as well as purple.

Sprinkles: I wanted to use sprinkles that would pop against the bright orange color. So I used a mix of black, purple and green Halloween sprinkles. I also used some green monster eyes.

Other Materials:

You will need lollipop sticks for these pops. I found the sticks in the cake decorating aisle in Walmart. You can find these sticks at Michael’s and Amazon as well.

Decorating the Halloween Rice Krispie Pops

I brought some Halloween sprinkles from Walmart. I also quickly made chocolate icing, which my daughter drizzled over the pops to give it a mummy kind of look. I think overall both the pops look great.

How to store the Halloween Rice Krispie pops

You can store these Krispie pops in an air-tight container. I personally store them in a gallon-size ziploc bag and they will stay good for up to a week without hardening up much. However, if you are using this recipe to make a summer-themed pop, and if it is extremely hot, you will have to store it in the refrigerator.

Can I use any other color candy melts

You can definitely use any other color of candy melts you want. I think green, purple or black candy melts would be perfect for these Halloween pops. Feel free to use your imagination and creativity.
