Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal (about 150g)
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows (about one standard bag, 280g)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (56g)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, especially if using salted butter)
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers (340g)
  • Mini chocolate chips or black decorating gel (for ghost eyes and mouths)
  • Lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks (about 12-16)
  • Sprinkles (optional, orange, black, or purple)
  • Edible candy eyes (optional)
  • 12 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, to thin chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting. Set out lollipop sticks, white chocolate, and decorations.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until smooth and melted, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla extract and salt if using. Immediately add Rice Krispies cereal and fold together quickly with a buttered spatula.
  4. Scrape mixture into lined pan. Press down gently with buttered hands or parchment. Let cool for 30-45 minutes at room temperature.
  5. Lift slab out of pan using parchment. Cut into rectangles or ghost-like shapes (about 1.5×3 inches). Pinch base for a teardrop shape if desired.
  6. Gently insert a lollipop stick into the base of each ghost. If treats crack, warm the end of the stick in hot water first.
  7. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Stir in coconut oil or shortening if needed to thin.
  8. Holding each pop by the stick, dip the top and sides into melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Set on parchment to dry. Spoon extra chocolate over the top for a ghostly look if desired.
  9. Before chocolate sets, press in mini chocolate chips for eyes and mouths, or use black decorating gel once set for more detailed faces.
  10. Allow pops to set at room temperature (about 30 minutes). Once firm, arrange on a platter or stand upright for serving.

Notes

Work quickly with the marshmallow mixture as it firms up fast. Butter or oil your hands for easier shaping. Thin white chocolate with coconut oil if needed. Let kids help decorate for extra fun. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free cereal. For dairy-free, use vegan butter and dairy-free white chocolate. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days.
