Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper—this makes cleanup a breeze.

Divide your candy melts into microwave‑safe bowls: if you’re using one color, split it into three portions; if using multiple, mix about one-third of each color per bowl.

For smoother coating, stir in 1 teaspoon of shortening or vegetable oil into each bowl of candy melts (optional).

Microwave each bowl in 20-second increments, stirring well for 10 seconds between intervals, until the candy melts are smooth and completely melted.

Remove the wrappers from your Rice Krispies Treats and set them near your dipping station.

Fully coat each Rice Krispies Treat in the melted candy, using a spoon to spread it and create a ragged “monster fur” appearance.

Work quickly—candy melts set fast! Press on candy eyeballs and sprinkle on colored sprinkles while the coating is still wet.

Place each decorated treat onto the parchment‑lined sheet pan.

Let them sit at room temperature until the candy coating is completely set. For the best taste and texture, enjoy these treats on the day they’re prepared.
