Halloween is fast approaching and I can already sense the excitement in the air as my boys plan their costumes and anticipate the candy spree they’ll soon be enjoying. I must admit that I never pass up any opportunity to celebrate an event and Halloween is one of my favourite holidays to go all-out decorating the yard and making fun treats.
This year, the boys and I started our celebrating even earlier than usual by making some simple and adorable Halloween Rice Krispies Butterscotch Lollipops. Not only are the treats super easy to make, but they can easily be customized by simply using a different flavour of pudding in the recipe!

Making and decorating these treats was something our whole family enjoyed, and the lollipop sticks make them a fun choice for a party. Personally, I want to try making a batch of bat-shaped treats using chocolate pudding instead of butterscotch. And I’m already planning on making some green tree-shaped lollipops using pistachio pudding when Christmas rolls around!

What a perfect Halloween treat, we will be making these for the school Halloween party.
Oh yum! Never would have thought of the pudding mix! (Assumed butterscotch chips when I saw the title!)
This is such a good idea. And the shapes would make great gifts for Grandma and Grandpa. And someone needs to eat the leftovers when you use the cutters.
he is so cute! :D Adorable! I love this!
my nephews and daughter love to cook..and since we are seeing them this weekend, this might be a fun activity!
Great idea for Halloween, love the idea of adding the butterscotch pudding. I am sure that would be very yummy!
I like that it’s on a stick, no small sticky hands here!
I had a friend who use to put pieces of toffee in hers. Like yours – the things I never think of!
Who would have thought to use butterscotch pudding? These sound amazing.Thank you for the recipe.
So cute and fun to make.
