Ingredients You’ll Need
- 6 cups Cocoa Krispies cereal
- 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 4 tablespoons butter
- Pretzel sticks (for legs)
- Candy eyes
- Chocolate chips or candy melts (optional, for extra drizzle or to help “glue” pieces)
How to Make Spooky Spider Cocoa Krispy Treats
Step 1: Make the Cocoa Krispies base.
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the marshmallows until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and quickly fold in the Cocoa Krispies cereal until fully coated.
Step 2: Shape into spider bodies.
Spray your hands lightly with cooking spray or coat with butter. Roll the mixture into round balls (about the size of a golf ball) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool slightly.
Step 3: Add the legs.
Break pretzel sticks in half and insert three on each side of the spider body to make six legs in total.
Step 4: Give them eyes.
Use a dab of melted chocolate or marshmallow to stick on two candy eyes for each spider.
Step 5: Let set.
Allow the spiders to cool completely before serving.
