Kids in the Kitchen: Monster Krispies



by Lindsay Weiss posted in Life & Home

This was a super fun project my kiddos did over the weekend. It's perfect for little hands and the best part is the less perfect they are, the better they look!
I used the ready-made Rice Krispie treats straight from the store because they were on sale. But you could totally mix up a batch of your own if you prefer and cut them into rectangles. The packaged versions were so easy though.
You'll just need to pick up the Wilton Candy Melts at any craft store (I got mine at Michael's). You can also order them off Amazon. I also got three sizes of googly eyes at Michael's too.
Melt the candy coating in the microwave, stir, and set the kids loose! There's no wrong way to do these!

It works best to lay these on a silpat liner or wax paper when you've finished dipping. That way you can pick them up easily when they've hardened.
3 bags Wilton candy melts (in your preferred colors)

3 tbsp. canola oil

24 rice krispie treats
Place each bag of candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl and add 1 tbsp. canola oil to each. (This helps smooth and thin the melts so they're not so gloppy.) Melt according to package directions.
Dip each krispie treat in melted candy coating, covering about 1/3. Place on silpat or wax paper lined surface. Place googly eyes on. Let harden for about 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Makes 24.
