Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4 cups mini marshmallows
- 3 Tbsp. butter
- 1/2 cup Nutella
- 4 cups cocoa Rice Krispies
Decoration
- 1/3 cup melted white chocolate or white frosting
Instructions
- Melt marshmallows and butter: Add mini marshmallows and butter to a large microwave-proof bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring each time until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Add Nutella: Stir in the Nutella until it is completely melted and well combined with the marshmallow mixture, creating a rich, chocolaty base.
- Mix in cocoa Rice Krispies: Fold in the cocoa Rice Krispies gently until they are evenly coated with the marshmallow and Nutella mixture.
- Shape tombstones: Take small portions of the mixture and mold them into tombstone shapes using your hands. Butter your fingers lightly to prevent sticking. Place the formed tombstones on parchment paper with a flat bottom so they can stand upright.
- Cool and decorate: Allow the tombstones to cool and set completely. Once firm, use melted white chocolate or white frosting to pipe “RIP” or other designs onto the tombstones. A small ziplock bag can be used as a piping bag for precision.
- Serve and enjoy: Your spooky, delicious Tombstone Rice Krispies are ready to enjoy at your Halloween parties or festive gatherings!
Notes
- Using buttered fingers helps prevent sticky hands when shaping the tombstones.
- Cocoa Rice Krispies add a rich chocolate flavor, but you can substitute with regular Rice Krispies if unavailable.
- For decorating, melted white chocolate melts smoother for piping, but white frosting works well as a simple alternative.
- Store the tombstones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
