Delicious Halloween Crispy Cereal Treats dipped in chocolate and topped with a Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Skulls Fun-Size! The perfect addition to your Halloween party table.
It is that time of year again, Halloween! One of my favorite holidays! With all of the spook-tacular fun, delicious treats, and of course, costumes, and parties, and such.
With all the various spell-a-brations during this time of year, I love having fun recipes and treat ideas up my sleeve for spookily scrumptious goodies. But, with keeping with my motto in life, I like to keep things eazy peazy. Which is why today I am so excited to share this simple Halloween Crispy Cereal Treat recipe .
- It starts with a classic Crispy Cereal Treat recipe, which is delicious in and of itself.
- After making the treats, they are cut into 18 even sized bars.
- Each bar is dipped in melted chocolate or candy wafers. I used orange to make things fun and festive.
- After they get an even more festive twist as they are topped with a Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Skulls Fun-Size
The skulls offer the classic Butterfinger crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery flavor , and are drenched in a smooth milk chocolate coating. They are free of artificial flavors and colors, and come 18 (individually wrapped) to a 10.8 ounce bag. This makes them awesome for baking, cooking, and crafts, but also as a treat for kids who come to Trick-or-Treat. Find them at retailers nationwide.
As soon as I saw the fun shape, I knew we would be using them to top cupcakes, sugar cookies, and of course these chocolate covered crispy cereal treats. The possibilities are endless.
I am a sucker for these treats. They are super easy to make. A favorite treat. And the addition of the Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Skulls Fun-Size treats makes them festive and cute as well. These one-of-kind limited edition bite-sized molded Skull shape that take your Halloween treats from tasty and cute to festive and spook-tacular.
My family really got into decorating with these fun molded chocolates, and the other Nestlé Jumbo Variety Bag treats.
I had so much fun with them, I decided I would definitely be including them in my Halloween treat bowl, along with the great selection of Nestlé Jumbo Variety Bags of all my favorite sugar and chocolate treats: Butterfinger, Nestlé Crunch, Baby Ruth, SweeTARTS, Nerds, & Laffy Taffy.
I live in a neighborhood that has a lot of kids, and plenty of houses, and is one of those prime spots for trick or treating in our area. Which means I get a lot of visitors. I love that Nestlé’s Jumbo Variety Bags offer bags with as many as 450 pieces, and come in a variety of sizes and assortments of treats. Such as:
- Best of SweeTARTS® Variety Bag features 220 pieces of your favorite SweeTARTS candy with a mix of SweeTARTS Mini Chewy Pouches, SweeTARTS Chews and original SweeTARTS Twist Wraps, all with no artificial flavors
- The ultimate pick for chocolate lovers, Chocolate Classics Variety Bag includes 230 bite-sized chocolate favorites from Nestlé Crunch, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger and Nestlé Milk Chocolate, all free from artificial flavors and colors
- All Treats, No Tricks Variety Bag, a mix of 450 pieces of Nestlé’s most classic sugar items, including SweeTARTS, Nerds, Laffy Taffy and Bottlecaps,
It makes my life easier, and means delighting trick or treaters without breaking the bank. Plus, I love that all of these are free from artificial flavors and are the most shriek-tacular value you’ll find this season! Pick them up at retailers nationwide.
