These 3-Ingredient Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are a ridiculously easy, no-bake dessert that comes together in under fifteen minutes. With butter, marshmallows, crispy rice cereal, and candy corn, they’re perfect for last-minute gatherings and always disappear fast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 package (10 ounces) regular marshmallows
  • 6 cups crispy rice cereal
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • ¼ teaspoon flaky sea salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Place a large saucepan over medium-low heat and melt 3 tablespoons of butter slowly, swirling occasionally, until fully melted but not bubbling or browning.
  3. Add the entire 10-ounce bag of marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Keep heat low and steady.
  4. Stir in 1 cup of candy corn gently but thoroughly until it softens and creates orange and yellow streaks, about 1 minute. Leave some chunks for texture.
  5. Remove the pan from heat. Pour in 6 cups of crispy rice cereal all at once. Fold gently with a folding motion until everything is evenly coated, about 1-2 minutes. Do not over-stir.
  6. Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  7. Lightly grease your hands or spatula with butter or cooking spray. Gently press the mixture into an even layer without compacting too much, about 2 minutes.
  8. Let the treats cool completely at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the fridge for faster cooling).
  9. Lift the block out using the parchment paper handles. Cut into squares using a sharp knife, wiping the blade clean between cuts. Makes 12 large or 24 small pieces.

Notes

Use fresh candy corn for best melting. Keep heat low when melting marshmallows to avoid scorching. Do not over-press the mixture to keep treats light and airy. For clean cuts, let treats cool completely and wipe knife between slices.
