Halloween Rusty Tombstone Treats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s Halloween soon , so here’s my take on a spooky treat. It’s super easy and only takes about 10 minutes, a few ingredients and an ice cube tray to create the “tombstone” mold!

No fancy tools needed, just a cheap $1 ice cube tray.

Chocolatey, crispy, sweet goodness!

Halloween Rusty Tombstone Candy

Chocolatey, crunchy and super simple to make!
Prep Time 5 minutes
Servings 1 dozen

Ingredients

Chocolate tombstone ingredients:

  • 1 1/4 cups vegan semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup Natures Path Gluten Free chocolate crisp cereal or your preferred rice puff cereal
  • 1 1/4 teaspoon grapeseed oil omit for an oil-free version

Non Food Materials needed:

  • 1 ice cube tray the deeper the molds the larger the tombstones will be
  • non-stick spray
  • food writing gel for spooky writing white works best
  • toothpicks
  • pack of Halloween stickers all the same shape

Instructions

  1. Add the chocolate chips and oil into a measuring cup with a pouring spout (makes it much easier) and microwave at 30 second intervals a few times, stirring in between each session, until almost all melted. Stir until smooth. Stir in 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons only of the cereal. (The remaining 2 tablespoons are for the tops.)
  2. Spray the ice cube tray lightly with non-stick spray. Pour the chocolate carefully about two-third's full into 12 molds. Depending on the size of your ice cube tray molds, you may make more. The deeper mold trays work best. When pouring the chocolate into the molds, it helps to guide it with a spoon.
  3. Add the remaining cereal on top, slightly pressing into the chocolate so it will stick once hardened. Use more cereal than the recipe calls for, if necessary. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes, only.
  4. Next, flip over the tray and tap or press into the molds and the chocolates should slide right out. Write spooky "Rip" if desired, or leave plain. The non-stick spray serves 2 purposes, easy removal and once it dries, it creates a rusty tombstone effect. 🙂
  5. Next, insert the toothpicks on top of the chocolates.

Recipe Notes

Vegan, gluten-free, nut-free

Notice the rusty tombstone effect that the non-stick spray leaves once it dries….pretty cool effect, huh!

If using the stickers, simply place 2 stickers back to back at the top of the toothpick. They need to be the same exact shape of stickers for them to match up on their opposite sides.

Chocolates are best stored at room temperature. They remain hard and will not melt. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

      Haha! Yes, they do. The first batch I made was just the crispies on the bottoms but I decided to put them all throughout and they have a really nice crunch…similar to a kit kat candy bar, yum!! 🙂 Thank you!
