These Mummy Rice Krispie Treats might just be the cutest little Halloween treat you make this year! They’re crunchy, chocolatey, completely no-bake, and ridiculously fun to decorate.
The base is made with crispy rice cereal, vegan milk chocolate, a little nut butter, and just enough activated charcoal or black cocoa powder to give them that spooky dark color. Once they’re set, they get topped with melted vegan white chocolate, candy eyes, and a few quick drizzles to turn each one into an adorable little mummy.
I love Halloween recipes that look impressive but are actually incredibly simple to make, and these definitely fit the bill. There’s no oven required and no complicated decorating skills needed — just melt, mix, press, and decorate!
They’re perfect for Halloween parties, spooky movie nights, treat boxes, or whenever you want a fun little sweet treat that feels extra special. And honestly, the candy eyes make everything more fun.
There’s something about a Halloween treat that’s been turned into a tiny little character that makes it impossible not to smile. These Mummy Rice Krispie Treats are simple enough for an easy afternoon baking project, but cute enough to steal the show on a Halloween dessert table.

These are essentially a chocolate lover’s take on a classic rice crispy treat. The crispy cereal gives them plenty of crunch, while the vegan milk chocolate and nut butter create a rich, chocolatey base with a little extra creaminess.
The vegan white chocolate on top adds sweetness and a creamy contrast to the darker chocolate base. They’re sweet, crunchy, chocolatey, and completely snackable, basically everything you want from a fun Halloween treat.
The dark chocolate base is what gives these treats their spooky mummy look, and you have a couple of options for getting that deep colour.
Activated charcoal gives the rice crispy mixture a dramatic black colour without adding much flavour. If you already have some in your pantry, a small amount goes a long way.
Black cocoa powder is another option and gives the treats an even deeper chocolate colour with a rich, slightly more intense cocoa flavour.
Either works for creating the dark base, so use whichever you have on hand and prefer. The goal is simply to create that dark, spooky-looking base underneath all those white chocolate mummy bandages.
Don’t worry about making the white chocolate drizzle perfect. In fact, a little bit of messiness is exactly what makes these look like mummies!
Once the rice crispy treats are set, drizzle them with melted vegan white chocolate and immediately add the candy eyes. Then drizzle more white chocolate back and forth across the top to create the mummy bandages.
Try varying the direction and thickness of the lines rather than making them perfectly even. The more irregular they are, the more character each little mummy has.
We kick off the spooky adventure by melting vegan milk chocolate with a dash of coconut oil. This luscious mixture becomes the glue that holds our treats together.
In a large bowl, we combine nut butter, melted chocolate, and activated charcoal. The result? A bewitching black base that’s ready to embrace our Rice Krispies.
Once our base is ready, we introduce gluten-free Rice Krispies to the party. After a thorough mix, we transfer spoonfuls of this delightful concoction into mini muffin silicone molds.
While our mummies take shape in the fridge, we melt vegan white chocolate with a touch of coconut oil. This creamy goodness becomes the canvas for our mummy bandages. We either use a piping bag or a spoon to create those iconic mummy wraps.
No mummy is complete without its eyes! We add two candy eyes to each treat for that adorable, slightly eerie touch.
With a piping bag or a spoon, we drizzle extra white chocolate over the bites to mimic mummy bandages. It’s the finishing touch that brings these treats to life (or should we say, to the afterlife?).
After a brief chill in the fridge, our Spooky Mummy Rice Krispie Treats are ready to steal the spotlight. Pop them out of the molds, take a wicked bite, and savor the spooky deliciousness!
Don’t overdo the dark coloring. Whether you’re using activated charcoal or black cocoa powder, you only need a little to create the spooky color.
Press the mixture firmly. This helps the treats hold together once they’re cut. Use the back of a spoon or lightly greased hands to really compact the mixture.
Let the base set before decorating. If the chocolate mixture is still soft, the white chocolate drizzle can sink in rather than sitting nicely on top.
Don’t stress about perfect mummy lines. Uneven white chocolate drizzles actually make these look more realistic and give each mummy its own personality.
Add the candy eyes while the white chocolate is still soft. This helps them stick without needing any extra decorating glue.
Can I use regular milk chocolate?
Absolutely. If you don’t need the treats to be vegan, regular milk chocolate and white chocolate can be used instead.
What nut butter can I use?
Use your favorite nut or seed butter. Almond butter, peanut butter, cashew butter, or sunflower seed butter can all work depending on the flavor you want.
Can I use black cocoa instead of activated charcoal?
Yes! Black cocoa powder is a great alternative and gives the treats a deep, dark chocolate color.
Do I have to make them into mummies?
Not at all! You can skip the white chocolate drizzle and candy eyes, or use the chocolate base to create your own Halloween shapes and decorations.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes. These are a great make-ahead Halloween treat. Once decorated, store them in an airtight container until you’re ready to serve.
Storage & Serving
Store your Mummy Rice Krispie Treats in an airtight container at room temperature. Keep them somewhere cool and dry so the chocolate decorations stay set.
