Method

Preparing the Rice Krispies Treats

1

Melt the Butter and Marshmallows

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.

2

Mix in the Rice Krispies

Remove the saucepan from heat and gradually add the Kelloggs® Rice Krispies. Stir until all the cereal is evenly coated with the melted marshmallow mixture.

3

Shape the Crab

Transfer the mixture into a greased crab-shaped mold or shape it by hand on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the mixture firmly to form the shape of the crab, ensuring to create claws and a rounded body.

4

Let Cool

Allow the shaped Rice Krispies Treats to cool completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

Decorating the Crab

5

Drizzle the Sauces

Using a spoon or squeeze bottle, drizzle chocolate syrup, strawberry sauce, and butterscotch caramel over the cooled Rice Krispies crab to create a decorative effect.

6

Add Candy Eyes

Place candy eyes on the crab's body to give it a fun and playful look.

7

Create Claws

Cut the red licorice twists into smaller pieces and attach them to the sides of the crab to form claws.

8

Add Gummy Worms

Use gummy worms to add extra decoration, placing them around the crab as if they are its food.
