This is Halloween, This is Halloween! In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song…. yes the song from The Nightmare before Christmas has been stuck in my head all week!

I do believe that it’s because Halloween is only a few weeks away!! Who’s ready? I know I am!

While I may not be into making “gross” and “gory” Halloween foods I do like to make some things that scream “Halloween”. Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats do just that, don’t ya think?

Now I already know that when I post these I’ll get comment or e-mails about them being unhealthy and full of “this and that”. Well I suppose it’s all in how you make them really.

I made these with regular rice krispy cereal, butter, marshmallows and chocolate. I’m sorry but sometimes I just want my comfort food/childhood favorites! It’s Halloween! I’m allowed to cheat

However, if you’re looking to make these a bit better for you here are some substitution ideas:

Rice Krispie Cereal — use Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice – Gluten Free Cereal
Marshmallows — use Dandies Vegan Marshmallows
Butter — use Earth Balance
Green Food Coloring — use Natural Green Food Coloring
Chocolate — use Enjoy Life Foods, Mini Chips, Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Eyes — I don’t know about this one, sorry.

For the ones you see here, I just used regular rice krispie cereal, large marshmallows, unsalted butter, melting chocolate wafers, yellow food coloring and blue food coloring along with a few candy eyes that I found at Hobby Lobby!

Happy Haunting! Check out all of the spooky Halloween recipes and crafts on BigBearsWife.com!!

Add a little bit of “The Nightmare Before Christmas” to your Halloween party with these easy Jack Skellington Rice Krispie Treats!

PIN IT NOW!

“The Nightmare Before Christmas” is one of my favorite movies and I love this Jack inspired treat- Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

Do you know how many people sent me baby themed Nightmare Before Christmas ideas when I was pregnant with Jax and how many people still do? haha It’s a lot, and I love them all. Someone even sent me a few pictures for a Nightmare Before Christmas / Jack Skellington nursery that they had seen online!

No, even though I love Jack Skellington and The Nightmare Before Christmas we did not go with the Jack Skellington nursery for the baby. We went with a Dumbo theme but that doesn’t mean that I won’t be dressing our little one up like Jack Skellington one day! haha

One of my best friends had her little girl 3 days before I had Jax and she suggested that one Halloween we dress our kiddos up as Jack and Sally! haha I’m totally for that!

So you know I couldn’t let Halloween get close without making some kind if Jack Skellington dessert right?!? I mean, I already have quite a few Jack Skellington desserts on the blog for Halloween but I needed another.

I’m thinking that maybe I’ll make it a tradition to share 1 new Jack Skellington recipe with y’all ever Halloween!

So far I have these Jack Skellington desserts on the blog:

I also have a tutorial on how to make Sally’s Potion Bottles !

So let me tell you something about these Jack Skellington faces on these Jack Skellington Rice Krispie Treats. Look at this photo above, that face was drawn on with a black edible marker.

The other faces that you see on the other Jack Skellington Rice Krispie Treats were drawn on with chocolate candy melts.

I tried the black edible marker first. It looked pretty good but it wasn’t as dark as I wanted. It also had trouble writing after I was painting the 3rd one. So If you want to use the edible marker you may want to get a few of them.

So I went with the second option for the rest of them. I used Chocolate candy melts to pipe Jack Skellington faces onto the Jack Skellington Rice Krispie Treats and I loved how they turned out.

I used regular chocolate because that’s just what I had but you could also use the black candy melts that you can get from the hobby stores. Either one will work perfectly!

Also, I first made these with just the tops covered in white chocolate and I just didn’t like the way they looked. That’s why I just went ahead and dipped the entire circle into the white chocolate. Plus, I think I’ve told y’all this before, but if not, I LOVE chocolate covered rice krispie treats haha.

Chocolate covered rice krispie treats are like heaven to me. haha
