All three of my children are fans of the fantasy genre of books and movies. And I have a blast making fun food for Halloween parties.

  6. Candy Eyeballs
  7. Edible Food Markers

I found the foundation of this fun food creation, Rice Krispies Treats that have been making memories for kids of all ages for generations, on the breakfast food aisle. Cookie Mini Fudge Stripes, which are made from 100% real cocoa and baked in the Hollow Tree®, and Cheez-It Variety Pack were located on the snack aisle. I found Pringles Snack Stacks, that are single-sized and perfect to enjoy yourself, on the chip aisle.

Step One

Melt the white baking chips or candy melts according to the directions on the package. Spread the candy melt on three sides of the Rice Krispie Treats. Immediately drag a fork through the candy melt several times to create pages. Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Ideas that look like wizard spell books are easy to make. Really!

You could use white frosting in place of the candy melts, but the candy melts create better looking pages. Check out how great those pages look! The crumbles and rough edges add to the ancient, mystical book vibe.Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Ideas that look like wizard spell books are easy to make. Really!

Step Two

Roll the fondant out to about 1/16 inch thickness. Lay a Rice Krispie Treat on the fondant and cut a strip to wrap around like a book cover. The fondant is easy to cut with a sharp knife. 

Tips

  • Start with the lighter color fondant first because some of the color from the darker fondant can transfer onto the mat and tools.
  • Different colors of fondant have different consistencies. You can roll out the fondant several times, so if you’re not happy with the thickness or how the fondant holds it’s shape (or doesn’t hold it’s shape), don’t hesitate to knead the pieces together and start over.
  • Make a template from wax paper for the size of the book cover rectangle and use that to cut your book covers.

Step Three

Add a bit of frosting to the back of a candy eyeball and place it in the center of the Fudge Stripes Minis. I found it easiest to use a toothpick to add just a small bit of frosting to the back of the candy eye and then attach it to the cookie.Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Ideas that look like wizard spell books are easy to make.

Step Four

Here is how I decorated my Halloween Rice Krispie Treats.Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Ideas that look like wizard spell books are easy to make. Really! Make them to look like your favorite fantasy book or movie. [ad] #SnackItAndPackIt #SeasonalSolutions

  1. I added a Fudge Stripes Mini with a candy eye ball and four mini marshmallows attached with frosting.
  2. I cut a circle out of fondant with a cookie cutter, wrote with the edible food marker, embellished with gold sprinkles and added black fondant stripes.
  3. I placed a Fudge Stripes Mini with a candy eyeball on the cover with frosting to hold it in place. I cut an eye-shaped oval from fondant and then cut the shape in half to create eyelids. I pressed the fondant eyelids around the cookie eyeball. 
  4. I added a Fudge Strips Minis eyeball attached with frosting, cut a rectangle from fondant and wrote “Brews” with the edible food marker. I cut a circle from fondant using the lid from the sprinkles jar. I then cut the circle into 4 pie-shaped pieces and added them at the corners of the cover.
  5. I cut strips and a small rectangle from fondant. I used a toothpick to create a keyhole on the rectangle.
  6. I cut a circle from black fondant with the edge of the sprinkles jar and added gold sprinkles to the black circle. I used the sprinkles jar lid to cut a larger circle from the pink fondant and cut the center out with the jar edge to create an overlay. I then cut a third circle into 4 pie-shaped pieces and added them at the corners of the cover.
  7. I cut a rectangle from fondant and used the edible food marker to write “Spells.” I added small rectangles cut from fondant to the four corners.
  8. There was no way I could write “Moste Potente Potions” in my handwriting with a food marker. My solution? I simply printed out the text that I wanted on paper, cut it out and attached it with tiny amounts of icing. Simply have to have people remove those slips of paper before eating the treat. I used a sharp knife to cut the scroll shapes out of fondant.
  9. I cut a rectangle out of fondant and wrote “Potions” with the edible food marker and cut the black stripes from fondant.

This would be a fun food craft to make with older kids or younger ones with your assistance. I know I’ll be making more of these Halloween Rice Krispie Treats Ideas for every party I can wrangle an invitation to just so I can make more.
