Instructions
- Grease a 9×13-inch pan and set aside.
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract if using.
- Quickly add the Rice Krispies cereal and stir until fully coated.
- Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula or wax paper.

- Melt the white candy melts or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip each ghost-shaped treat into the melted candy, coating completely. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Use mini chocolate chips or decorating gel to create eyes and a mouth on each ghost. Let the candy coating set before serving.
