These Easy Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treat Pops are the ultimate Halloween dessert—quick, festive, and delicious. Made with simple ingredients, they look like candy corn but taste even better.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 bag (10 ounces) marshmallows (regular size)
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn (divided—½ cup melted in, ½ cup stirred in at the end)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
  • Popsicle sticks or lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Line your 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang, and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  2. Separate ½ cup of candy corn and set aside; the other ½ cup will go into the pot.
  3. In a large pot, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over low heat until fully melted and just starting to bubble.
  4. Add the entire bag of marshmallows and stir constantly over low heat until smooth and fully melted (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Stir in the ½ cup of candy corn until mostly dissolved and the mixture turns pale orange (about 2-3 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat and stir in ¼ teaspoon salt (if using).
  7. Pour in 6 cups of Rice Krispies and the remaining ½ cup of candy corn. Fold gently until everything is coated.
  8. Transfer the mixture to the prepared dish. Spray your hands with cooking spray and press evenly into the pan without pressing too hard.
  9. Let cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.
  10. Lift the treats out using the parchment overhang. Cut the rectangle in half lengthwise, then cut each half into triangles (about 2 inches apart) to get 16-20 triangles.
  11. Gently push a popsicle stick into the bottom (wide end) of each triangle about halfway in.

Notes

Add candy corn in two stages: some melted into the marshmallow mixture for flavor and color, and some stirred in at the end for texture. Keep heat on low to avoid burning. Use wet hands or cooking spray to press the mixture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Do not refrigerate.
