These Mickey Mouse Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect recipe to make for any Disney lover! Not only are they cute, but they are so delicious: a classic Rice Krispie Treat with yummy chocolate and mini M&Ms on top shaped like Mickey Mouse!
Mickey Rice Krispie Treats
These Mickey treats will transport you right into Disneyland or Disney World. These are one of my favorite Disney snacks to make because they are so easy and they taste so good – it’s not Disney magic, it’s just the truth!
Rice Krispie Treats are not only great for kids, but adults love them too. They are one of those desserts that never get old – these would be so cute for a Mickey Mouse birthday party. And when you can bring the magic of Disney parks home? Priceless – and way cheaper than going to the Magic Kingdom.
Ingredients & Variations
- Mini Marshmallows: You can swap an equal amount of regular size if needed.
- Rice Krispie Treats Cereal: My recipe uses 9 cups of Rice Krispie cereal. You can use any brand of crisp rice cereal.
- Mini M&Ms: These are the perfect topping!
- Butter: Unsalted is best for this recipe but salted may be substituted.
- Candy Melts: I used chocolate melts, but you can also use chocolate chips or white candy melts.
- Extras: Instead of the mini M&M candies, you can use anything you like. Disneyland often has ones coated with colored sugars or sprinkles too!
How to make Mickey Treats
- Line two 9-inch baking pans with foil or parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Melt the butter over medium low heat in a large saucepan. Then add the marshmallows and stir until melted. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
- Add cereal and stir to coat with the marshmallow mixture and press into pans. Tip: spray wax paper with nonstick cooking spray so you can press the treat mixture without it sticking to your hands.
- Let set until firm. Remove the pressed mixture from pan using foil and remove foil from the bottoms. Use a mickey mouse shaped cookie cutter to cut shapes.
- Melt chocolate according to package directions (I like using a paper bowl and melting on 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring after each). Dip each treat in the chocolate and then cover with mini M&Ms, press to adhere. Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Let harden. If you want you can drizzle them with additional chocolate.
Expert Tips
- It is important to remember to get fresh marshmallows because stale ones will not melt the same.
- To make them in the microwave, heat butter and marshmallows in a microwave safe bowl for 2 minutes. Stir, then continue heating approx. 1 more minute or until melted.
- I don’t add popsicle sticks to my treats, but you can if you want. I just find it easier to make them without – and easier is my jam. You can even make Minnie Mouse Rice Krispies treats by adding a candy bow or using white and red candy melts!
- You can use any flavor Rice Krispie treat for the base of this recipe – my peanut butter Rice Krispie treats would be perfect!
Storage
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To freeze, let cool completely then cut into bars and wrap each individual bar in wax paper and freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Recipe Notes
- Use any flavor Rice Krispies cereal.
- You can use any size marshmallows, just make sure you’re only using 15
ounces in the actual mixture – you’ll want mini ones to mix in or you’ll have to
slice large ones to fold in at the end. - Only use FRESH marshmallows and not-stale cereal for best results.
- You can use any color candy melts, chocolate chips, or white chocolate for different designs, but I recommend Ghirardelli candy melts.
- You may have some M&Ms left over. My recipe made 14 but it will depend on the size of your cookie cutter.
