Line 9” x 9” or 9” x 13” pan with parchment paper. Make sure you leave a 1-2 inch overhang to make removing the treats easy. Alternatively, you can spray your pan with non-stick cooking spray.
Measure out ingredients.
In a large pot, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add all the marshmallows, continually stirring, just until marshmallows are melted. If using vanilla extract, add it to the mixture after marshmallows are melted.
Remove from heat and add in the Rice Krispies cereal. Quickly but gently fold the mixture to coat evenly.
Spread mixture into prepared baking pan. Using a spatula coated with non-stick cooking spray, gently press and spread the mixture evenly to all corners of the pan. Let the mixture sit for 30-60 minutes to harden before slicing.
Remove your Rice Krispie Treats from the pan using parchment paper. Cut into rectangular pieces. (18 or 24 pieces depending on how big you want your mummy treats.)
Now, take your white chocolate or candy melts and place them in a microwave-safe bowl to melt them. Cook candy melts according to the package directions. If using white chocolate morsels, melt at 30-second intervals, stirring in-between until chocolate is mostly melted. Stir until all lumps dissolve.
Place melted chocolate in a plastic zipper bag or piping bag. Snip a corner of the bag off and drizzle white chocolate back and forth over Rice Krispie Treats. Add googly eyes to each treat. Let sit for 60 minutes or overnight and enjoy it!

Notes
Use fresh, good-quality marshmallows. If your marshmallows are old, they may not melt well in this recipe.
Cook marshmallows over medium-low heat. If you cook the recipe over high heat, there is a good chance the sugar will crystalize, turning your Halloween treats hard.
Gently fold the Rice Krispie Cereal into marshmallows. The cereal is delicate and, if mixed harshly, gets crushed.
Speed up the cooling process by placing the treats in the refrigerator. Putting the mummy goodies in the fridge for a few minutes will help them cool faster, so you can add their white chocolate "bandages" sooner.
Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days.
