Instructions

Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and melty. Transfer the chocolate to a piping bag or Ziploc bag with a tiny bit of the end snipped off.
Place a tiny bit of melted chocolate in the middle of a peanut butter cookie then press a mini peanut butter cup on top. Using the piping bag, create 8 “legs” with the chocolate, 4 on each side. Repeat with remaining cookies.
Use a bit of the melted chocolate on the front of the Reese’s peanut butter cup and place 2 mini candy eye balls on top, pressing them on.

Ingredients

1 (12-ounce) bag candy melts in your favorite color, or use a variety of colors
1 (16-pack) box individually wrapped Rice Krispies Treats or your favorite homemade recipe
Assorted candy eyeballs
3 teaspoons Shortening or vegetable oil, optional
Colored sprinkles optional

Instructions

Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Add candy melts to microwave-safe bowls. If using one color, divide it into three equal parts. If using multiple colors, place about 1/3 of each color into separate bowls. Optionally add shortening or oil for easier application of the chocolate to the krispie treats, 1 teaspoon to each 1/3 chocolate candy melts.
Microwave each bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring vigorously for 10 seconds between each burst until smooth.
Upwrap Rice Krispies Treats.
Once chocolate is smooth, dip Krispie Treats in melted chocolate and use a spoon to help spread it over the treat, giving it a ragged “monster” look.
Working quickly (the melted candy melts harden fast), press on candy eyeballs and sprinkles (if desired). Decorate however you’d like!
Transfer to the prepared sheet pan and allow chocolate to set at room temperature. Best enjoyed the same day they’re made.
