Looking for a festive and fun dessert to sweeten up your day? These Candy Corn Confetti Krispies Bars are exactly what you need! Bursting with colorful candy corn pieces and gooey marshmallows, they’ll whisk you right back to those carefree childhood trick-or-treat nights—any time of year.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1 cup candy corn, plus extra for topping
- ½ cup white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzle)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Melt your butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Once it starts to bubble, add the mini marshmallows and stir frequently to keep them from sticking to the bottom of the pot. Continue until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
Reduce the heat to low, then gently fold in the crisp rice cereal, coating each piece with the sweet, silky marshmallow sauce. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt to highlight the sweetness. Next, stir in the candy corn until it’s evenly distributed throughout the sticky cereal.
Lightly butter or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Press the mixture into the dish using a spatula or your hands lightly greased with cooking spray. If you like, set aside a few candy corn pieces to press on top for extra flair.
For an optional finishing touch, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-second increments, stirring each time until fully melted. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the Rice Krispies treats and allow it to set before slicing.
Offering just the right balance of sweet crunch and nostalgic charm, these Candy Corn Confetti Krispies Bars are ideal for family get-togethers or a playful afternoon snack. They’re easy to adjust for dietary needs—swap in brown rice cereal or vegan marshmallows if you prefer—and you can mix up the toppings with festive sprinkles or different chocolate drizzles. Whether you’re craving a spooky season snack or just want an eye-catching treat, these bars will bring a bit of bright sweetness to everyone’s day.
