Can I make these Halloween Mummy Treats ahead of time?

Yes, you can! These mummy rice crispy treats stay fresh for up to 4 days when stored in an airtight container at room temperature. If you’re prepping for a party or school event, feel free to make them a day or two in advance. Just keep them in a cool spot away from direct sunlight to prevent the white chocolate from melting.

How do I keep the rice crispy treats from getting too hard?

Avoid high heat when melting the butter and marshmallows. Stick to low or medium-low heat and stir constantly. Also, don’t overpack the mixture into the pan; press gently so the treats remain soft and chewy.

What can I use if I can’t find candy eyes?

No candy eyes? No problem. You can use mini chocolate chips, black gel icing, raisins, or even tiny dots of melted dark chocolate piped onto the treats. They’ll still look adorably spooky!

Can I freeze Halloween Mummy Treats?

Technically, yes, but it's not ideal. Freezing changes the texture, and the white chocolate drizzle may crack or “sweat” once thawed. If you must freeze them, wrap each individually and thaw at room temp before serving. For best texture and appearance, enjoy them fresh.
