Rice Krispie Bar—Halloween Ghosts

Do you still need a quick and easy Halloween treat for a classroom party or to give out to your friends and family? Whip up some of these super easy and super adorable Rice Krispie Bar Treats in the shapes of Halloween Ghosts. A fun and easy twist on the ever popular Rice Krispie Treats. And…it’s on a stick!! You know how much I love that!

Now, I wish I could take credit for these cute treats…but I can’t. My super creative neighbor (you know who you are Smile ) is my daughter’s church activity day leader and she made these for a fun Father and Daughter Halloween Party earlier this week. Luckily I have trained my family well enough to know they can NOT eat the treats until mom gets a picture of it…sad but true!

To make them you will just need to whip up a batch of Rice Krispie Treats. The recipe is on the back of the box of Rice Krispies. Or you can find the original recipe for Rice Krispie Treats on Rice Krispies.com. Spread them out into a jelly roll pan so they are fairly flat. You will also be able to get more ghosts this way. Take a cookie cutter shaped like a tombstone and cut out the ghosts as close to one another as possible when the Rice Krispies have cooled a bit but are not hard. Transfer each ghost to wax paper and insert a sucker stick into the bottom of the ghost. Let them fully harden.

Then dip the tops of each ghost into some melted white chocolate or almond bark and add a couple of mini chocolate chips for the eyes. Let the chocolate harden before wrapping up or serving. Aren’t they so much fun? Go ahead and make some for yourself. I think I found the perfect treat to take to my son’s class for his birthday treat next week!

Thanks H!!

Halloween Desserts—Pumpkin Oreo Pops

19 Comments

Ummm…yep…another version my of Oreo Pops for some fun Halloween Desserts and party ideas. This time we made some Halloween Pumpkin Oreo Pops.

Here are the supplies you will need to make them:

Wilton Candy Melts in Orange and Green

Double Stuff Oreos

Black Licorice (or Pretzel Sticks)

Popsicle Sticks

Mini Chocolate Chips

Stick the popsicle sticks in between the two cookie layers of the Oreos and set them aside on some wax paper. Melt your orange candy melts in the microwave in 20 second intervals until it is melted to a smooth and creamy consistency. Now “dip” the Oreos into the orange candy melts. I don’t actually dip them but rather take a spoon and smooth it onto the front of the Oreos. Then smooth the candy melt around the sides and onto the back of the Oreo. Be sure to do around the stick very well as this will be sure to hold them together when they have hardened. Lay them onto the wax paper and add some mini chocolate chips for the eyes and the mouth. Then to make the stem, I cut a piece of black licorice…but you could also use a pretzel stick. Then pop in the freezer for a few minutes.

Melt the green candy melts and then take the pops out of the freezer and add some leaves onto your pumpkins. I just drizzled a little leaf shape on the top. Pop them back into the freezer. After 20 minutes, they should be ready to share!

Do you have a favorite?

Bat Oreo Pops

9 Comments

Hey guys! I have been busy on a little remodel project and some bigger home décor items that I am just finishing up. I can’t wait to share them with you. But I have also whipped up a couple more fun Halloween Oreo Pops. The first one that I would like to share are these Halloween Bat Oreo Pops.

Here are the supplies you will need to make them.

Wilton Candy Melts (Midnight Black) or chocolate

Double Stuff Oreos (I need to buy some stock in that company)

Black Construction Paper

Popsicle Sticks

Red and White Sprinkles

White Heart Sprinkles

Stick the popsicle sticks in between the two cookie layers of the Oreos and set them aside on some wax paper. Melt your candy melts in the microwave in 20 second intervals until it is melted to a smooth and creamy consistency. Now “dip” the Oreos into the candy. Now I don’t actually dip them but rather take a spoon and smooth it onto the front of the Oreos. Then smooth the candy melt around the sides and onto the back of the Oreo. Be sure to do around the stick very well as this will be sure to hold them together when they have hardened.

Take some construction paper and cut out some bat wings. Stick one on each side of your bat. Take two red sprinkles and make some bat eyes. Then line up some white sprinkles for the mouth. To make the fangs I took some Heart shaped sprinkles I had left over from valentine’s day and cut them in half to make the fangs. You could also use a long cylindrical sprinkle for the fangs if you don’t have any hearts. Pop them into the freezer for 20 minutes and they should be ready to share.
