Ingredients You’ll Need
(This recipe should yield 8-10 ghosts)
- 3 Tbsp. of butter
- 1 (10 oz.) bag of marshmallows or 5&1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
- 6 cups of Rice Krispies Cereal
- Candy eyes
Equipment Needed
- Wax paper
How to Make Rice Krispies Ghosts
Classic Recipe
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter
Add your marshmallows, and stir until the marshmallows are melted
Remove from heat. Pour over cereal and stir until coated.
Shaping the Ghosts
While the mixture is still warm, press it into the silicone molds. You don’t have to be too precise — the imperfect shapes add to the charm!
Let them cool for a short time, then gently pop them out onto wax paper.
Add the candy eyes by pushing them into place
You can create a mouth just by pushing a spoon or thumb into the ghosts to make an indentation. Have fun with it, and see what you get.
Each one will have its own funny personality — some with pointy heads, some short and squat, and others tall and lumpy. I love how no two ghosts look the same.
Expert Tips
Working with Kids – If you are working with kids, hand out placemats or individual sheets of wax paper
Silicone Mold Substitute – Use the measuring cup to scoop out 1/4 cup of cereal, and mold the ghost to any ghostly shape you desire
Facial Expression – The position of the eyes, and how far you push them in, really changes the look of the ghosts
