These sticky gooey, monster rice bubble treats are really easy to make, they don’t require any baking, and they’re perfect for a Halloween party
And if the kids are going to make a mess in the kitchen, it may as well be a big, sticky, delicious mess!
Instead of making rice bubble treats in a traditional slab and cutting them into squares, we dolloped spoonfuls into individual cupcake liners. Their rough, random, ball-ish shapes look like little sticky gooey monsters. Add some green food colouring, some eyes and some mouths, and you have little hand-sized monster treats!
We first made these monster rice bubble treats quite a few years ago as a birthday treat to take to preschool, and they were a huge hit. Since then we’ve tweaked the recipe a little and perfected our technique.
These days you can buy pre-made candy eye balls, which make the whole process quicker and easier. The little eyes do tend to get a bit lost among all the rice bubbles though so it is worth going to the effort of making the chocolate chip eyes.
To make the chocolate ‘eyeballs’ you need some big white chocolate melts/buttons, some small choc chips, and a bit of plain icing to glue the two together. We used the same chocolate eyes for our happy face cookies too, you can find the recipe here.
You can make your monsters any colour you like, and use your imagination when it comes to adding other features. What lollies (candy) could you buy to make horns or tentacles for your monsters?
