These Easy Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are a quick and delicious fall dessert that comes together in under 15 minutes. With just five simple ingredients, the candy corn melts into the marshmallow base for a warm, buttery sweetness and a gorgeous marbled look.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 10 ounces mini marshmallows (about 5 cups)
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • a pinch of salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your pan. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the paper with butter or nonstick spray.
  2. Melt the butter. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Swirl the pan occasionally so it melts evenly.
  3. Add the marshmallows. Pour in 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and stir constantly until they’re completely smooth and glossy, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the candy corn. Add 1 cup of candy corn and stir for another 1–2 minutes until mostly melted. A few tiny pieces may remain.
  5. Add vanilla and salt. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
  6. Fold in the cereal. Remove the pan from heat. Add 6 cups of crispy rice cereal and fold gently with a silicone spatula until evenly coated.
  7. Press into the pan. Scrape the mixture into your prepared dish. Lightly grease your hands or the back of a spatula, then press into an even layer without smashing flat.
  8. Let them set. Cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if in a hurry.
  9. Cut and serve. Lift the whole block out using the parchment overhang. Use a sharp knife to cut into squares or rectangles. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges. Aim for 12 large bars or 24 smaller ones.

Notes

Use fresh candy corn for best melting. For dairy-free, use vegan butter or coconut oil. For extra crunch, add ½ cup chopped peanuts or pretzel pieces. If bars get too hard, microwave for 10–15 seconds to soften.
