Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 10 cups mini marshmallows
• 6 cups crispy rice cereal
• 1 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 3 drops orange food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or nonstick spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and smooth.

Step 3

If desired, mix in the orange food coloring to give the marshmallow mixture a festive Halloween hue.

Step 4

Remove the pot from heat and immediately stir in the crispy rice cereal, ensuring every piece is evenly coated with marshmallow.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan. Use a greased spatula or lightly buttered hands to press the mixture evenly into the pan.

Step 6

Allow the mixture to cool completely at room temperature, approximately 20-30 minutes.

Step 7

Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate chips and the white chocolate chips separately. For each, place the chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to each to achieve a glossy texture.

Step 8

Pour the melted dark chocolate over the cooled cereal mixture and spread it evenly to create a thin, chocolate layer.

Step 9

Transfer the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a small resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off.

Step 10

Draw concentric circles (starting from the center and working outward) on the dark chocolate using the white chocolate. Use a toothpick or skewer to drag lines outward from the center of the circles, creating a spiderweb effect.

Step 11

Let the chocolate set completely before cutting into squares or rectangles for serving. You can refrigerate the pan briefly to speed up the setting process.

Step 12

Serve and enjoy your spooky Spiderweb Crunch!
