Instructions

  • Unwrap all 12 Rice Krispies Treats and set them on a clean work surface.
  • Insert one lollipop stick into the bottom center of each treat so each has a handle and can be held securely.
  • Line a baking sheet or countertop with parchment paper and set it nearby for the dipped treats.
  • Melt 105–140 candy melts according to the package directions, stirring until the coating is smooth and pourable.
  • Hold a treat by the stick and dip the top into the melted candy, turning as needed to coat evenly. Allow excess coating to drip back into the bowl, then place the dipped treat on the prepared parchment paper. Repeat for all 12 treats.
  • While the coating is still wet, attach the 48 candy eyes to the treats, placing four candy eyes on each treat in the arrangement you like.
  • Let the coated treats sit on the parchment paper until the candy coating is completely set and firm before serving or packaging.

Notes

You can make as many or as few monster treats as you like. Just keep in mind that about 35 candy melts covered 3-4 “monsters”, and we placed 4 candy eyes on each one.
You can place the monsters in the fridge if you want them to set quicker – be sure to put the parchment paper on a cookie sheet in this case.
