These Spider Web Rice Krispies Treats are a quick and spooky way to bring Halloween spirit to your dessert table. Classic marshmallow cereal bars get a festive upgrade with black gel webbing and candy spiders that looks just creepy enough to impress without the mess.

They come together fast and are easy to decorate, which makes them perfect for last-minute party treats or Halloween night snacks. Kids can even help with the webbing and placing the spiders on because it’s part of the fun.

Helpful Tips

For frosting the cookies, it’s easier if you start with the straight lines. Draw the straight lines first, going from one tip to the opposite one, keeping the lines as straight as possible. Then move on to the outline, and then the middle curved lines.
Let the Rice Krispies base cool completely before decorating.
To make it easier to cut with a cookie cutter, try dipping the edges of the cookie cutter into either softened or melted butter. This will keep it from sticking to the cookies so much and you’ll get a cleaner cut.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
40 marshmallows or 5 1/2 cups of mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
black gel icing
spider sprinkles or gummies

Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet by lining with parchment paper, silicon mat, or rubbing on butter. Set aside.
Add butter to a large pot over medium heat. When melted, add marshmallows to the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until fully melted.
Remove the pot from the heat and add Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently with a spatula until fully combined. Keep in mind that as it cools, the mixture will get harder to work with.
Pour onto the prepared baking sheet. Press and shape with your hands until smooth and even. Cool completely (about 1 hour).
Once completely cooled, remove the block of Rice Krispies treats from the pan and place it on a cutting board. Using a spider web cookie cutter, cut as many as you can get.
Using a gel frosting tube, draw a web on the cookies. Then place a spider sprinkle on each one.
