Apple Rice Krispie Balls on a Stick

The "Granny Smith" Apple and the "Red Delicious" Apple Krispie Treat on a Stick

This was my second idea for an apple inspired treat for the munchkin's classroom.  This is not a cake pop but I made it the same way but with a rice krispie ball.  After making a coloured krispie treat, grease your hands to form it into a ball and place it on a stick.  Once the ball is on the stick you will want to put it into the fridge to let it harden.  Once it has hardened just dip it in melted coloured candy melts and then add the pretzel for the stem, slice of licorice straw for the leaf and the gummy worm just for fun.  I did place it back in the fridge so that it would harden a bit quicker.  Voila... another super cute snack for the first day of fall!

Apple Rice Krispie Treats

My Green Granny Smith apple and my Red Delicious apple

It is that time again... fall!  It is also time for me to make fun treats for my kid's classrooms.  Since it is almost the first day of fall I tried making two different apple themed snacks to make.  This was my first idea... apple shaped rice krispie treats.  You just make a basic krispie treat and add some food colouring to make 'granny smith' apples or 'red delicious' apples.  I was fortunate enough to find Christmas marshmallows to help with the colour.  After you make the treats, spray your hands with olive oil or non-stick spray and roll them into balls.  After the balls are made I just topped it off with a bit of pretzel for the stem, a slice of a licorice straw for the leaf and a gummy worm, just for fun!

Apple Cupcakes

Our church was hosting Vacation Bible School (VBS) this week and the theme was "The Big Apple."  Tomorrow night we are having a big BBQ and presentation of the week.  I was planning on bringing these cupcakes for the BBQ.  Unfortunately, I totally chopped off the top of my finger so I chose to bring something easy, such as chips, but I still made 4 cupcakes and took pictures of them.  Since I had baked all the cupcakes already I made a few apple ones for my kids.  I looked on-line and got ideas since there were a lot of different types of apple cupcake ideas.  Things you need: a basic white cake mix (or golden), red icing (green if you are making green apples), pretzel sticks, licorice straw ropes and gummy worms.  I used a small piece of the pretzel for the apple stem, I sliced the licorice for the leaf, I took a fork and took a 'bite' out of the apple and then just placed a worm in it, for fun!  A fun little cupcake, the idea was great for the theme of VBS but with the pain in my finger I just did not want to make 36 of them!  I also think this would be a fun food to make for an April Fool's Day party!
