One of the great things about Rice Krispies treats is that
they can be formed and cut to take on a plethora of shapes. In preparation for
Halloween, this week’s tip is to shape your treats into a variety of
Halloween-themed shapes. From pumpkins to candy corn to witch’s hats, many
Halloween shapes are easy to form and then you can use colored white chocolate
and/or coating to “paint” them and use other candies in your store to add fun
embellishments. A variety of sizes, from snack-size to a full-size serving,
will give your customers options.
Extra tip: Place the treats on a lollipop stick and you can
create a bouquet of Halloween-themed treats that will make a great display for
your store and catch the eye of your customers.
