FAQs
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, they can be made up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows?
You can, but the texture may be slightly different. Use about 7 ounces of fluff to replace the marshmallows.
Can I use dark or milk chocolate for the bandages?
You can, but white chocolate gives the best mummy appearance. Use other chocolates for a creative twist.
How do I keep the Rice Krispies mixture from sticking to my hands?
Lightly butter your hands or spray with non-stick spray before pressing the mixture into the pan.
What if I don’t have candy eyes?
You can use mini chocolate chips or pipe small dots of melted chocolate or frosting for eyes.
Can I freeze these treats?
Freezing is not recommended, as it can alter the texture and make them too hard or sticky after thawing.
Can kids help make these?
Absolutely! Kids can help press the mixture into the pan, drizzle chocolate, and add the candy eyes.
Can I make them gluten-free?
Yes, just ensure you use gluten-free crispy rice cereal and marshmallows that are certified gluten-free.
How long does it take for the white chocolate to set?
Usually about 15–20 minutes at room temperature. You can speed this up by placing them in the fridge briefly.
Can I shape the mummies differently?
Definitely! Try making them into circles or ghosts using cookie cutters before decorating.
