Ingredients
Monster Eye Rice Krispie Treats
• 6 Tbsp (85 g) unsalted butter
• 10 oz (285 g) marshmallows
• Green gel food coloring
• 6 cups (160 g) crisped rice cereal
• Edible candy eyes
Spooky Spider Cookies
• 24 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
• 1/2 cup (120 g) chocolate frosting (for “glue”)
• ~192 mini pretzel sticks (8 legs per cookie)
• 48 mini chocolate candies or candy eyes (pupils)
Mummy Dogs (savory add-on)
• 12 hot dogs
• 1 sheet puff pastry or 1 can crescent dough, cut into thin strips
• Mustard or ketchup for eyes
Optional Party Extras
• Mini pumpkins, faux cobwebs, and labels for styling
Instructions
Prep: Line two baking sheets with parchment. Set out small bowls for eyes, pretzels, and candies.
Monster Eye bars: Melt butter in a pot over low heat. Stir in marshmallows until smooth; tint green. Fold in cereal. Press mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan. While warm, press candy eyes on top. Cool, then cut into squares.
Spider cookies: Twist cookies apart if needed (or keep whole). Pipe a small dot of frosting on both cookie sides; insert 4 pretzel “legs” per side. Add a frosting dot on top and press two mini candies or eyes as pupils. Let set.
Mummy dogs: Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Wrap each hot dog with thin dough strips, leaving a small gap for the “face.” Bake 12–15 minutes until golden. Dot mustard or ketchup for eyes.
Assemble platter: Arrange green eye bars, spider cookies, and warm mummy dogs on a large tray. Add mini pumpkins and cobweb décor for a festive spread. Serve immediately.
Notes
Make-ahead: Rice Krispie treats can be made 1 day ahead; keep tightly covered. Assemble spider cookies day-of for best crunch. Bake mummy dogs just before serving.
Allergy swaps: Use gluten-free cookies, GF dough, and nut-free spreads as needed.
Kid-friendly: Set up a topping station so kids can add eyes and “legs” themselves.
Storage: Treat bars keep 2–3 days covered at room temp. Mummy dogs are best fresh.
