How to Make

Step 1: In a microwave safe bowl you will melt your green candy melts. Add in the coconut oil and heat for 20-25 second heat cycles. Stir between each heat cycle.

Step 2: Once the chocolate is melted, you will dip the Rice Krispies treat face down in the chocolate. This will coat one side of the treat. Place it on a wax paper lined counter.

Step 3: Add the candy eyeballs right away. Then allow the chocolate to set up completely.

Step 4: Now, you will melt the chocolate candy melts. Take the melted chocolate and place in a piping bag or Ziploc style bag, you can cut a tip off.

To create the face you will start with the hair. Create up and down movements, and then give the face eyebrows. Pipe on a zig-zag style scar on the right corner of the treat. Add on a smile, and add lines like stitches.

Step 5: Allow the treats to cool and set up, then add in the popsicle sticks in the bottom to make them like a treat sucker if you want.

Practical notes

How to dip rice krispies treats in melted chocolate?

To dip this treat in the chocolate, hold on to the edges and dip into a bowl. Coat some of your sides of the treat as well. Then carefully flip it over, and let it set up and harden.

Can you color white chocolate?

Adding food coloring to white chocolate when you melt it can cause it to seize up and ruin the chocolate. We recommend for a dessert like this, you buy candy melts.

Go right ahead and make these up the night before you need them. Just keep them in an airtight container so they don’t dry out. Then serve and enjoy.
