Festive, no-bake candy corn krispie treats made with peanut butter, marshmallows, and Rice Krispies cereal, layered with milk and white chocolate for the perfect Halloween-inspired dessert. Chewy, colorful, and irresistibly sweet—ideal for parties or fall gatherings.

Ingredients

8 tbsp unsalted butter

2/3 cup brown sugar, lightly packed

1/3 cup heavy cream

1/8 tsp salt

1/3 cup + 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter, divided

1/2 tbsp vanilla extract

2 cups miniature marshmallows

Orange food coloring (neon preferred)

5 cups Rice Krispies cereal

3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

1/3 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Generously spray a 9-inch springform pan (or cake pan) with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar and cook until dissolved, about 1–2 minutes.
  3. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low.
  4. Stir in 1/3 cup peanut butter, orange food coloring, and marshmallows. Continue stirring over low heat until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Add Rice Krispies cereal and mix until evenly coated.
  6. Transfer mixture to prepared pan, pressing gently into an even layer. Let set at room temperature for 1 hour.
  7. Remove from pan and cut into 8 triangles (like pizza slices).
  8. In separate bowls, melt milk chocolate chips with 2 tbsp peanut butter, and white chocolate chips with 1 tbsp peanut butter, microwaving in 15–20 second intervals until smooth.
  9. Spoon milk chocolate over the bottom edge of each triangle and white chocolate over the top. Let chocolate set before serving.

Notes

Use different food colors (like red or yellow) for other holidays.

Add chopped peanuts or pretzels for crunch.

Drizzle with dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

Sprinkle sea salt on top for a sweet-salty contrast.

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 6 months.

Thaw frozen treats at room temperature for 15–20 minutes before serving.
