Spooky Face Cookies and Cream Protein Rice Krispies

Halloween treats don’t have to be complicated to be fun—and these Oreo Protein Rice Krispie Treats prove it. They’ve got everything you love about the classic gooey marshmallow squares, but with a festive twist: crushed Oreos, candy eyes, and a boost of protein to keep them a little more balanced. The best part? They come together in just a few minutes, no baking required.

I love recipes like this for parties, school events, or just a fun family night at home. The decorating is simple enough for kids to help with, and the end result is equal parts spooky and delicious. Plus, adding protein powder makes them a little more filling, so you’re not left with a sugar crash after enjoying one. Trust me, these will disappear from the tray faster than you can say “boo”!

Equipment

• 1 Large Saucepan
• 1 Wooden spoon or silicone spatula
• 1 Measuring cups and spoons
• 1 9×13-inch baking dish (greased or lined with parchment)
• 1 Wax paper or spatula (for pressing the mixture evenly)
• 1 Small piping bag or zip-top bag (for melted chocolate/icing, optional)

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 tbsp Butter
• 4 cups Mini marshmallows
• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 1/2 cup Crushed Oreos (~6 cookies)
• 1/2 cup Vanilla protein powder
• For decoration: candy eyes, melted chocolate or black icing for decorating the mouths

Instructions

 

• In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.
• Remove from heat and quickly stir in the vanilla protein powder until well combined.
• Add the Rice Krispies and crushed Oreos to the marshmallow mixture. Stir until the cereal and Oreos are evenly coated.
• Press the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch pan, using a spatula or wax paper to flatten it evenly.
• While the Rice Krispies are still slightly warm, press the candy eyes into the surface to create spooky faces.
• Use the melted chocolate or black icing to draw little mouths on each treat to complete the faces.
• Allow to cool for about 30 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes

For an extra spooky twist, use Halloween-themed Rice Krispies or add orange and black sprinkles before the mixture sets.

To make them even more festive, you can dye the marshmallow mixture with a bit of green or purple food coloring.

You can also substitute the vanilla protein powder with another flavor, such as chocolate or cookies and cream, to mix up the taste.
