• Vegan Butter: This is the base that brings richness and helps meld our ingredients together without any dairy. It makes sure every bite has that buttery taste that’s crucial for authentic krispie treats.
• Vegan Marshmallows: They’re the special sauce that binds the krispies together. Opting for vegan marshmallows means everyone can enjoy these treats without any gelatin.
• Rice Krispies-Style Cereal: The crispy heart of this treat. This cereal adds the essential crunch that’s expected in a classic krispie treat, making each bite a perfect mix of gooey and crispy.
• Vegan Chocolate Chips: These little chips add chocolatey sweetness and are what we use to bring our mice to life. They melt into perfect little ears and tails, adding character and charm to each piece.

Step 1: Butter Up – Start by melting your vegan butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan over medium heat. Keep stirring! You want everything smooth and perfectly blended.

Step 2: Crisp It Up – Once everything’s melty and mixed, add in the Rice Krispies-style cereal. Give it a good stir until every piece of cereal is lovingly coated with your gooey marshmallow mixture.

Step 3: Set the Stage – Remove your pan from the heat. Pour the mixture into a 9×9 pan and smooth it out. Let it cool off a bit—patience, my friend!

Once it’s cool, cut it into mouse-sized rectangles.

Step 4: Design Your Mice – Now for the fun part! While your base is cooling, sketch out those cute mouse ears on a piece of paper, lay it under some wax paper on a cutting board—it’s tracing time!

Step 5: Melt and Mold – Melt your vegan chocolate chips (microwave or double boiler—your choice, just keep it from burning). Once melted, pour the chocolate into a plastic bag, snip a small corner off, and pipe those ears onto your wax paper. Stick them in the freezer for 20 minutes to set.

Tip: While freezing, pipe the chocolate onto the rice krispies to form the mice eyes, nose, whiskers and tails. Then pipe chocolate onto the “head” to attach the frozen ears, working quickly to attach the ears so they don’t melt in your hands.

Step 6: Bring to Life – Time to bring those Krispies to life! Pipe on eyes, noses, whiskers, and tails with the remaining chocolate.

Don’t forget to attach those chilled ears quickly—no melting allowed!

Step 7: Cool & Serve: – Let your creations cool completely. Now they’re ready to wow your guests at any Halloween bash!
