Mummy Rice Krispie Treats

Instructions

1. Line a 9x13 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add in the salt and stir. Then divide the marshmallows by separating 1 cup and setting it aside for later. Pour the rest of the marshmallows into the pot and continue to stir until melted.
3. Once melted, remove the pot from the heat and then add in the vanilla extract. Give it a quick stir before adding in the Rice Krispies cereal and the 1 cup of marshmallows we set aside earlier. Fold gently until combined.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly, without pressing in too hard. Use the back of a wet fork or spoon to lightly press it down and into the corners of the pan. You can also use wet fingertips but I find utensils to be less messy. Do not overpack it otherwise it will become hard once set.
5. Leave it on the counter to set for at least 1 hour. Do not refrigerate or it will harden and be difficult to eat.
6. Once set, cut into desired slices and place on parchment paper lined baking trays with a 1-2 inch gap between each slice. Now, let's get ready to decorate!
7. Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on low or using the defrost setting for 30 seconds. Give it a stir and if it’s still not melted, microwave again for 15 seconds. Continue to microwave in 15 second increments until fully melted and smooth. Do not overheat. (Directions from back of Ghiradelli package)
8. Dab melted chocolate from the bowl onto the backs of the eyes and place them on the Rice Krispie treats. Then pour the chocolate from the bowl into a piping bag and twist the top tightly, making sure it is secure and no chocolate will spill out.
9. Using scissors, snip the tip of the piping bag a tiny bit at a time until it is the desired thickness for making the bandages.
10. Hold the piping bag firmly and give it a squeeze to decorate the Rice Krispies. Drizzle the chocolate in multiple directions, across and diagonal, to make the bandages. Have fun with it and try to avoid covering the eyes.
11. Once finished, let it sit for another 15 minutes on the counter for the chocolate to harden. Then remove the extra chocolate from the sides and put the mummies on a plate. Serve and enjoy!
