    There is a love hate relationship with one of the most popular halloween candies, candy corn. Some people love it and some people don't like it at all, but either way these Homemade Candy Corn Rice Krispie Treats are a must. They don't taste like the candy, but are the most festive treat for your next Halloween party.

    Made with three layers of our Ultimate Rice Krispie Treat, vanilla, orange and lemon and a touch of food coloring to create this beautiful layered look. So easy to make with only three key ingredients and vanilla extract, orange zest and lemon zest to bring out the flavor.

    We have so many favorite Rice Krispie Treat Recipes, like our Cookies and Cream Rice Krispie Treats and our Peanut Butter Cup Rice Krispie Treats and I am sure these Candy Corn Treats will also be added to your favorites.

    Rice Krispie Treat Ingredients

    Three white bowls filled with marshmallows, rice krispie cereal and cubed butter with a lemon and orange sitting next to it.
    • Butter- Unsalted Butter is a key ingredients to make this dessert so delicious
    • Marshmallows- Be sure to use mini marshmallows and always check the expiration date of your marshmallows.
    • Vanilla Extract- I always add vanilla extract into my dessert and especially rice krispie treats. Don't skip this ingredient!
    • Citrus Zest-Orange and Lemon Zest are added to two of the layers. If you prefer not to add this citrus flavor to your rice krispie treats then you can remove the zest from the recipe and these will be a vanilla flavor.
    • Rice Krispie Cereal-The main focus of this dessert!
