Ingredients

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.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely, then use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter to cut out ghost shapes.
- 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.
Notes
For a unique touch, consider using colored candy melts for different ghost designs.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3–5 days.
If you want to prepare them ahead of time, freeze the decorated ghosts for later enjoyment.
