Print Recipe

These 3-ingredient candy corn Rice Krispie treats are the perfect last-minute dessert. The candy corn melts into the marshmallow mixture, creating an incredible, gooey, and almost buttery flavor with a gorgeous sunset color.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag mini marshmallows
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn

Instructions

  1. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or line with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting. If using parchment, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Do not let it brown.
  3. Add the entire bag of mini marshmallows and 1 cup of candy corn to the pot. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly with a rubber spatula.
  4. Continue stirring gently but continuously until the candy corn is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy orange, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from heat immediately. Pour in 6 cups of crispy rice cereal and fold together gently but firmly until every piece is coated.
  6. Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Using a piece of wax paper or lightly greased hands, gently and evenly spread the mixture into the corners. Do not press too hard.
  7. Let the treats cool completely at room temperature, about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Do not refrigerate.
  8. Once cool, lift the block out using the parchment paper and place on a cutting board. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts. Makes 12 large or 24 small squares.

Notes

Use fresh candy corn for best melting. If candy corn is hard, microwave for 10 seconds to soften before adding. Do not over-melt the marshmallows; remove from heat as soon as smooth. Work quickly once cereal is added. Grease your spatula to prevent sticking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
