Ingredients
– 1 bag candy melts
– 1 box individually wrapped Rice Krispies Treats
– 3 teaspoons shortening or vegetable oil (optional)
– Candy eyeballs
– Colored sprinkles (optional)
– 1 tube peanut butter cookie dough
– 20 to 24 peanut butter cups
– 1 cup milk chocolate chips
– 1/2 teaspoon shortening or vegetable oil (optional)
– 1 bag white chocolate chips
– 1 package sandwich cookies
– 1/4 cup milk chocolate chips
– 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or shortening (optional)
– 17 to 18 pretzel rods
– 1 bag dark green candy melts
– 17 to 18 sliced almonds
– 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or shortening (optional)
Instructions
1-Begin by lining a sheet pan with parchment paper to keep things neat. Melt the candy melts in the microwave until smooth, which takes just a minute or two. Dip each Rice Krispies Treat into the melted chocolate, spreading it for a ragged look to give that monster vibe.
2-Quickly add the candy eyeballs and colored sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Place them on the sheet pan and let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 10 minutes. This recipe takes 15 minutes total and results in fun, creepy snacks everyone will enjoy.
3-First, bake the peanut butter cookies as per the package instructions, which usually means about 10 minutes in the oven. Once theyβre slightly cooled, press a peanut butter cup into the center of each cookie. Melt the milk chocolate chips and use them to pipe out spider legs from the cups.
4-If you want, add edible eyes using the melted chocolate. The whole process involves 15 minutes of prep and 10 minutes of cooking, totaling 25 minutes. These cookies add a playful touch to your Halloween spread.
5-Start with lining a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave until creamy. Dip each sandwich cookie into the melted white chocolate, shaking off any excess to avoid drips.
6-Let them set on the pan, then use melted milk chocolate to pipe on eyes and a mouth. This no-bake treat is ready in 20 minutes and brings a ghostly charm to your party. For more no-bake inspiration, check out the peanut butter no-bake cookies recipe on our site.
7-Line a sheet pan with parchment paper first. Break the pretzel rods to remove about one-quarter of one end, creating a ragged tip. Melt the dark green candy melts in the microwave until smooth.
8-Dip the ragged end of each pretzel into the melted chocolate, covering about three-quarters of the rod. Attach a sliced almond to the tip as a fingernail and let it harden on the sheet pan. This recipe is done in 15 minutes and makes for eerie, finger-like snacks.
