I’m not much of a fan of Halloween. Sure, I like decorating the house a little and find myself unable to resist the festive cartoons that air on TV, even though I’ve seen them about a million times. But I don’t like being scared and I haven’t dressed up for Halloween since second grade. Seriously.
There is one thing I absolutely, positively love about Halloween: CANDY! I’ve already stocked up on Williams Sonoma’s amazing candy and I need to get my Jelly Belly order in soon. I also head to Target and drug stores to stock up. I’ve only hit Target so far this year and was unimpressed by the selection. It was all chocolate with a little candy corn. I don’t mind candy corn, but as you know, chocolate is not an option for me with my allergy. It was a pretty big bummer. Maybe more gummy candy will come in, and I definitely need to head to some other stores.
The trip wasn’t a total bust, though, because then I spotted Halloween cereals. In the blink of an eye my arms were filled with cereal boxes. Boo Berry (which I tried and loved last year), Frute Brute, and Fruity Yummy Mummy are now in my pantry calling my name. I didn’t pick up Franken Berry, but you know I’ll be making another trip for a box. These are old school cereals that had previously been discontinued but are now back for the season. I think this is a great idea and I love them. Seasonal treats are always so fun to stock up on. If there’s a shortage of Candy Corn Oreos, I’m probably to blame.
Like candy, I also have a thing for cereal. I don’t eat it all the time, but there are always at least five boxes of cereal in my pantry. Chex (mostly for those Puppy Chow cravings), Rice Krispies, Cap’n Crunch, Lucky Charms, Cheerios, and now these fun, fruity, marshmallow-y cereals have joined the assortment.
I wasn’t planning on baking with them, but then I saw that this week’s Sunday Supper theme was crunchy and I put two and two together. Enter Boo Berry Cereal Treats. These no bake treats are ooey, gooey, messy, but I think that makes them taste even better. The Boo Berry flavor shines through and they stay super crunchy. These easy to make treats are sure to be a Halloween hit!

Boo Berry Cereal Treats #SundaySupper
- Total Time: 7 minutes
- Yield: 18 bars 1x
Ingredients
- 5 ½ cups Boo Berry Cereal
- 5 cups mini marshmallows
- ½ stick unsalted butter
Instructions
- Line a 9 by 13 inch pan with parchment, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, place marshmallows and butter. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir very well to promote melting. An additional 15-30 seconds may be necessary to be sure the mixture is fully melted. Once melted, add the cereal and stir until it is fully coated in marshmallow goo.
- Working quickly because the mixture gets stickier and harder to work with by the second, pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer using your hands or the back of a spoon. Allow to cool for about 2 hours to set. Cut into bars and serve. Bars may be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 2 minutes

What a fun treat for Halloween!
Oh my gosh! Is it ok that I want these for breakfast? I love it!!
Well they are cereal 😉 Thanks, Jennifer!
These are so fun! What a great idea. My kids are going to try making them.
This is the perfect recipe for kids to make!
I absolutely could not wait to see these – Boo Berry was my favorite growing up! I’ll have to make a batch soon. 🙂
You have to try these since you already love Boo Berry!
I love this twist on Rice Krispie Treats! I haven’t thought of Boo Berry cereal in years!
Love these cereal treats and the name is so cute. I need to find a box of this cereal!
Check Target – I think they’re the only ones that have it.
These look boo-tiful! 😀
LOL! Thanks, Jen!
What a great idea to use the special cereal they brought back for Halloween. Pinned.
Great gooey flavor.
Gosh, how fun this is! Very creative recipe – thanks.
Krispie treats made with various cereals are such a great change from the same old rice krispies, Laura. You are so clever. I had no idea that certain cereals are brought out again seasonally for Halloween! Those marketing folks are pretty smart too!
Oooey gooey!
Yum! Sugar overload!! I love it.
I love Boo Berry Cereal. Your treats look so yummy! Can you believe that Halloween is just around the corner?
Halloween will be here in no time. It’s scary how fast the year is going. Thanks, Christin!
How cool! I never eat cereal anymore but I may have to make an exception for these….
What a tasty twist on a classic. These are so fun!
Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays either. But you’ve created a way to make it quite fun! I bet trick or treaters would come back for seconds on your Boo Berry Treats =)
My daughter would have these devoured in no time. Thanks for the great idea!!
I’ve haven’t had boo berry cereal in ages! This definitely brought me back 🙂 I feel the same way about Halloween – it’s fun and all but I don’t like anything “scary” and I also don’t dress up!
You should pick up a box of Boo Berry. Sometimes we all need to revisit childhood 🙂
Nice and gooey treat! Thanks!

It’s true. I went to Target this weekend and bought oreos with candy corn filling. OMG. They were really good. And that caused me to buy candy corn. Now I can eat them together!
Candy Corn Oreos are the best . . . except for the Gingerbread ones at Wal Mart around Christmas.
Thanks Laura,
We loved them. I have not had Boo Berry in ages. Hmmm! I wonder what it would taste like using Count Chocula.
Anyway, they were yummy. Thanks again,
Larry and D
I’m so glad you enjoyed these, Larry! I think just about any cereal would be great in these and they would be very fun to make with the kids!
So cool and gooey!! Love 🙂
These look like such a fun treat!
Way to make the most of the seasonal treats out there! These are such a fun version of cereal treats!
Love that you made something different! sorry about your chocolate allergy but these look fabulous! and I’m sure Target will be all stocked up right about now since it’s now October 1st! 🙂 These look great!
Thanks, Alice! I need to make another Target trip for sure 🙂
I used to love Count Chocula cereal. These treats are adorable! Love the Halloween theme. I’m not too much into Halloween either but a few things to celebrate the holiday is fun. 🙂
I’ve never heard of boo berry cereal but these look fantastic! 🙂
Cereal treats get gobbled up fast!
Smile. Cereal is my guilty pleasure. It’s almost like dessert to me! These bars/treats look perfect. I can’t wait to get some Halloween candy. I need to fill up my bowl. Thank you for sharing!
★★★★★
Cereal is one of my guilty pleasures too! Thanks, Monet!
I’m not too crazy about this Holiday, either, but it seems that my kids are… so, until you have kids, enjoy the “lighter” side of this day. 🙂
I love the name of these treats!!
★★★★★
Such yummy treats! They look so gooey! Have to try making them!
Boo Berry is a classic favorite of mine, so much that relatives stock up and send me it as Christmas gifts, hahah, I love it! These look amazing! 🙂
That’s so funny! You need to try these – you’ll love it even more 🙂
Throwing different cereals in ‘rice crispy’ treats is THE BEST. I love playing with different flavors. These sound super yummy!
looks delicious….just mouthwatering!
I’m with you, the only thing I really like about Halloween is the candy but these are really cute and festive!
Only used 3 ingredients and you can come out with such a wonderful treats, amazing!
Thanks, Faye, and thanks for visiting 🙂
so creamy and crunchy, a tasty and booooo-licious treat to start a day or for the anytime of the day 😀
