Ingredients

  • 1 bag (10 ounces) miniature marshmallows
  • 3 tablespoons butter, softened
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 12 Reese's miniature peanut butter cups
  • 2 cups light cocoa Candy melts
  • 24 candy eyes

Instructions

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine marshmallows and butter and heat in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes or until puffy. Stir until blended.
  • Add the Rice Krispies cereal to the marshmallow mixture and using a wooden spoon, stir until cereal is evenly coated. 
  • Transfer into a lightly greased 9 x 13 baking pan and press firmly. Let the Rice Krispies cool for 1 or 2 hours.
  • Using a circle cookie cutter, cut out Rice Krispies into circle shapes and place in single layer on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, heat candy melts in the microwave on 50% power for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. 
  • Scoop melted chocolate into a decorating bag and cut a small tip off the end of the bag.
  • Unwrap peanut butter cup and apply a small amount of the chocolate on the top of the cup. Stick onto the center of each Rice Krispies treat, carefully pressing to secure.
  • Using the decorating bag, draw legs starting from Reese’s cup and onto the Rice Krispie treat.
  • Apply a small amount of melted chocolate onto the back of two candy eyes and attach to the top edge of the peanut butter chocolate cup, carefully pressing to adhere.
