    💕 why you'll love this mummy rice krispie treat recipe

    🎃 Halloween-ready. If you need a little extra something for your next Halloween party or spooky movie night, these treats are the perfect addition!

    👻 ghoulishly good. Whether you choose to prepare a homemade batch of krispie treats or use store bought treats, the extra addition of white chocolate puts these over the top for anyone with a sweet tooth!

    🤌 simple to make. The most difficult part is waiting for the chocolate to harden! This recipe is perfect to make with kids in the kitchen because it actually helps to be a little messy!

    🛒 ingredients

    • rice krispie treats - you can make your own homemade rice krispie treats (I recommend using this recipe here!) or you can use storebought rice krispie treats. Around the holidays, you can even find a big sheet of prepared rice krispies treats for holiday baking projects! Make sure to have the treats prepared ahead of time so they are cooled, set, and ready to be cut.
    • white chocolate chips - go for the good stuff here. I used Ghiradelli white chocolate chips to make my mummies. You’ll need one whole bag per batch.
    • chocolate chips - you’ll need a small amount of chocolate chips to make the eyes of your mummies. I chose to use milk chocolate, but you can use dark chocolate or semi-sweet chips if you have them! Make sure to use chocolate chips, not bars, because they’ll harden back up to be solid. This is important so that your eyeballs are set up properly without being too melty.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    🍳 instructions

    A bowl of melted white chocolate chips sits on a cutting board

    Step 1: Melt your chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 1-2 minutes.

    You can do this in 30-second intervals if you’re responsible.

    I chose to just nuke it and take my chances. 🤡

    Piping milk chocolate dots to make homemade chocolate eyeballs.

    Step 2: Make the eyeballs first. Put your chocolate chips into a piping bag and snip the corner so you have a very small hole, about ⅛” in diameter.

    Pipe out small chocolate dots about ¼ inch apart onto a sheet of parchment paper on a small baking sheet. You’ll need 24 dots for 12 pairs of eyeballs.

    Give the pan a little jiggle to let any pointy tips settle down into a round circle. Pop the pan into the fridge to let the chocolate set for a few minutes.

    Step 3: Cut your krispie treats into 12 long sticks.

    Step 4: Stir your melted white chocolate chips to create a smooth bowl of melted chocolate. Place approximately 2 tablespoon into a piping bag to finish the eyeballs.

    Leave the rest in the bowl.

    Step 5: To finish the eyeballs, take the pan out of the fridge and carefully pipe white chocolate overtop of the milk chocolate.

    Make sure to fully cover the dots.

    It’s okay if some pairs of eyeballs stick together, they will make a complete pair that look different than the other mummies!

    Pop the pan back into the fridge to let the eyeballs set up fully.

    Tongs dipping a rice krispie treat into white chocolate.

    Step 6: Dip 6 of the rice krispies into the melted white chocolate using tongs.

    Set them off to the side to allow the chocolate to set up and harden.

    If it’s hot in your kitchen like it was in mine (Florida problems), you can put them on a baking sheet and put them in the fridge or freezer to harden for a few minutes.

    Step 7: Drizzle white chocolate on the other 6 treats to make a mummy wrapping design.

    Go crazy here! Try going side to side, then diagonally for the best look!

    Step 8: If desired, drizzle mummy wrapping on the other treats that you dipped into the chocolate.

    This adds another layer of dimension to the treats!

    Step 9: Take the eyeballs off the parchment by carefully flipping them off, and place them onto the treats with a small dab of white chocolate to secure them.

    If your chocolate is still melty, like mine was, you don’t need to dab on additional chocolate.

    Step 10: Drizzle additional chocolate around the eyeballs to make it look like they are “wrapped up” with their eyes peeking out!

    Once you are finished, set them aside and allow them to fully harden before storing or serving them.

    Hint: Allow the mummies to fully harden. This could take a couple hours depending on the temperature of your home. If you are in a hurry, you can pop them into the fridge.

    🍽️ serving tips

    • These treats are perfect for serving at Halloween parties or at-home movie nights alongside a glass of pumpkin spice soda or candy corn soda!
    • Add them to a dessert spread for your parties, or serve them on a spooky platter alongside some Halloween candy!
    • Pack them into lunch boxes for a fun treat during the week of Halloween or month of October!

    ℹ️ troubleshooting tips

    Even though these are a relatively easy project, things can go wrong! Try these troubleshooting tips if you find yourself in a jam.

    • too melty - if your chocolate is too melty, pop your krispie treats into the fridge or freezer for a few minutes until they set up and harden. In order for them to properly harden back into the same texture as white chocolate chips, you’ll need to leave them alone for up to a few hours, which can be hard to do!
    • too sticky - if your krispie treats are too sticky and hard to cut, you might not have let them set up long enough.
    • mummy wrapping not defined - if your lines of mummy wrapping don’t seem to be defined on your treats, you could be drizzling the chocolate on too thick. Also, make sure to let the treats you dip cool completely before trying to drizzle additional chocolate on them. Pop them in the freezer while you drizzle the other treats so the white chocolate sets and creates a hardened base for the next layer of drizzles!

    ⚖️ Scaling Tips

    • You can definitely make a double batch of these treats for a large party or gathering.
    • You can also cut them into smaller pieces so you get more than 12 mummies from your batch of krispie treats!

    🔆 top tip

    Make sure to allow the chocolate to harden between steps so you get the best definition of your mummy wrapping!

    ♻️ substitutions

    Missing an ingredient? No problem. Check out these tried-and-true substitutions, or comment below with your question. I’m here to help you troubleshoot!

    • store-bought treats - you can use store-bought rice krispie treats instead of making your own to cut down on the time and make it even easier to decorate.
    • use another cereal - you can use another cereal instead of rice krispies to make your treats! Cinnamon toast crunch would also be delicious!

    🎛️ variations

    Feeling like a rebel?! 😈 Feel free to stray from the recipe card using these variations, or leave me a comment with your own!

    • chocolate mummies - use cocoa krispies for a chocolate variation of these mummies! You can also use chocolate chips to dip the mummies instead of white chocolate.
    • ghosts - round the corners of the krispie treats and fully dip them to make ghost rice krispie treats!
    • candy eyes - buy a package of candy eyes instead of making your own chocolate eye balls!

    🧰 equipment needed

    • knife - you’ll need a good, sharp knife for cutting the krispies into sticks. I love my knives from Wüsthof. They are a bit of an investment, but there is nothing like having the right tools for the job in the kitchen!
    • microwave-safe bowls - a reliable set of microwave-safe bowls is a must in the kitchen! I use these bowls from Duralex all the time! They’re perfect for melting chocolate in the microwave!
    • tongs - tongs make easy work out of dipping the krispie treats, and they keep things clean(er), but you can use your hands as long as you promise me you’ll wash them again before dipping! 😉
    • spoons, spatulas, or whisks - you’ll need some utensils for mixing the chocolate and drizzling it onto your treats. I used a gifted set of mini tools from GIR, and they were perfect for the job! You can use a spoon, a whisk, or a spatula/spoonula for mixing and drizzling.
    • pastry piping bags - these pastry bags are perfect to use for making the eyes of the mummies. If you don’t have piping bags, you can also use a ziplock bag with the corner cut off or you can use a parchment cone.

    🫙 storage tips

    Store your finished treats in an airtight container for up to 1 week, if they last that long!

    💬 q+a

    What kind of chocolate should I use for the mummies?

    Use white chocolate chips, not white chocoalte in a bar, so that it sets back up and keeps its shape.

    What if I don’t have pastry bags?

    You can cut the corner off of a ziplock bag and use it as a piping bag, or you can use a piece of parchment paper or wax paper rolled into a cone to make the eyes.

    How long does it take for the chocolate to cool and harden?

    It can take anywhere from 15 minutes to two hours depending on the temperature and humidity of your kitchen for the chocolate to harden. I like to pop my treats into the fridge or freezer to speed up the cooling proecess of the white chocolate.
