Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper to dry the rice krispies on before serving.

Make or buy rice krispies as you see fit. This recipe is all about the decoration!

Melt the candy melts and shortening in a microwave-safe dish for 30 second bursts, stirring well in between each heating.

Dip half of each rice krispie into the candy melts and lay on your prepared cookie sheet.

Place any remaining melted candy in a piping bag or sandwich bag with the end clipped off. Carefully make "drips" of candy for a spooky effect.

Attach the candy eyes, silver dragee "bolts", and licorice "hair" while the candy is still wet.

You can add the gel mouth whether the candy is dry or wet. Simply draw a line with the gel and then use a toothpick to pull the line to resemble stitches.

Allow all candy and elements to set before serving.
