Need a treat for Halloween, but only have a few minutes? Crispy Cocoa Halloween Bars can be made in a about 15 minutes using the microwave. They’re easy enough for the older kids to make on their own (although an adult should be present whenever kids are using the microwave), and they are chewy and fun.

These treats will be a big hit with the kids at the annual Halloween BOO-ffet; they’re also great for packaging in Halloween treat bags or as a treat at family gatherings. There are only four ingredients: butter, marshmallows, cereal, and Halloween candy; nothing could be easier.
