These adorable Ghost Shaped Halloween Rice Krispie Treats are a fun holiday snack. Easy to make, and cute to serve, both kids and adults will love these.

Kids and adults both love fun treats during the Halloween season! These Ghost Shaped Halloween Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect “scary” treat that is both yummy and fun!

Couple of tips for making these … you don’t have to use lollipop sticks; if you’d like to make them into handheld treats that works also. When I decided to make ghost shapes, I got out my tub of cookie cutters and my “ghost” shaped cutter was a bit too detailed for the look I wanted. So I rifled through to my Easter/Spring cutters and found a “tulip” that worked fabulously. After cutting with the “tulip” cutter, simply press the stem portion back into the treat and you’ll have a simple ghost shape that is perfect.

I also purchased the Wilton Candy Eyes – I love them – but of course you could use other means to decorate them too. And just for more holiday festiveness I used some sprinkles mixed into the krispie mixture – that’s completely optional but fun.
