Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 4 cups cocoa Rice Krispies
- 1/3 cup melted white chocolate or white frosting (for decorating)
Instructions
- Melt Marshmallows and Butter: Add mini marshmallows and butter to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring each time until fully melted and smooth.
- Add Nutella: Stir in Nutella with the melted marshmallow mixture until well combined and smooth.
- Mix in Cocoa Rice Krispies: Fold in the cocoa Rice Krispies cereal, mixing until evenly coated.
- Form Tombstones: Butter your fingers lightly to avoid stickiness. Take small amounts of the mixture and shape into tombstone forms of various sizes. Place on parchment paper so they don’t stick. Press the bottoms flat to ensure they stand upright.
- Cool and Decorate: Let the tombstones cool completely. Use melted white chocolate or white frosting in a piping bag or small ziplock bag to write “RIP” or other decorations on each tombstone.
- Serve and Enjoy: Let the decorated tombstones set, then serve as a fun Halloween treat!
Notes
- Butter your fingers or wear gloves when shaping to prevent sticking.
- You can make different sizes of tombstones for variety.
- Use parchment paper to cool the treats and prevent sticking.
- If you don’t have cocoa Rice Krispies, you can use regular Rice Krispies and add cocoa powder to taste, but the flavor and color will differ.
- Melted white chocolate works well for decorating but white frosting is a good alternative if preferred.
- Store treats in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to 3 days.
