Hocus Pocus Spell Book Krispies Recipe
Introduction
Bring a touch of magic to your treats with these Hocus Pocus Spell Book Krispies. Easy to make and perfect for Halloween or any spooky celebration, these rice krispie treats are transformed into enchanting spell books with dark chocolate and candy eyes.
Ingredients
- 16 count rice krispie treats
- 1 tube Wilton black glitter gel edible
- 1 bag dark chocolate candy melts
- 10 candy eyes
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the dark chocolate candy melts for 2 minutes at 50% power or on the defrost setting. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each, until all the candy melts are completely melted and smooth.
- Step 2: Dip each rice krispie treat into the melted candy, ensuring they are fully coated. Place coated treats on parchment paper to dry. While the chocolate is still wet, position candy eyes on the right center edge of each treat to resemble the spell book’s eyes. Let them dry completely before moving to the next step.
- Step 3: After the chocolate has dried, carefully draw stitching details on the treats using the black glitter gel. Allow the gel to dry before serving your spell book treats.
Tips & Variations
- Use dark chocolate candy melts for a better spell book appearance, but you can experiment with milk chocolate if preferred.
- If you don’t have candy eyes, small white and black icing dots can be a fun homemade substitute.
- For an extra magical touch, add edible glitter dust on the chocolate before it sets.
Storage
Store your Hocus Pocus Spell Book Krispies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating to prevent the candy coating from sweating. They can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature. If desired, let refrigerated treats come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular chocolate instead of candy melts?
Regular chocolate can be used, but candy melts are designed to melt smoothly and harden with a nice finish, making decorating easier and more durable.
How do I prevent the candy eyes from sliding off?
Place the candy eyes on the treats while the chocolate coating is still wet. This helps them stick firmly in place as the chocolate dries.
