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!

Bunny Krispie Treat

The final bunny before my son decorated it!

I had some leftover pink candy melts from a previous treat and it had already been melted so... I looked in my pantry and realized that I still had some Krispie cereal left.  I re-melted the candy melts and mixed in the cereal.  I used my rabbit cookie cutter and I just spooned some of the mixture into the cookie cutter and spread it out to fill the entire cutter.  I lifted the cookie cutter and since it held its' shape, I could just make another one!  I decided to not decorate these bunnies and let my kids decorate them.  I gave each of them a small amount of pink icing, coloured sugar and confetti dots.  I only got a picture of my sons because my daughter decided to eat hers before I got a picture.

Zhu Zhu Pet Rice Krispie Treats

When I ordered the 3-D cake pan to make the Zhu Zhu pet cake it came with a tray of mini eggs..... the perfect size for a little Zhu Zhu pet rice krispie snack.  Who doesn't love rice krispie treats??????  I am not going to tell you how to make rice krispie treats but I do suggest that you increase the amount of marshmallows that a lot of recipes say, the 'gooier' the better:)  For my krispie treats I added pink food colouring since I was making Snowcup but you could add any colour food colouring to make any of the Zhu Zhu's.  All you do is make the krispie treats and place some of the treats in each of the 'eggs'.  It is perfect size for the Zhu Zhu body.  I did spray the tray before putting the treats in because I did not want them to stick.  After you have the little bodies formed just add the face.  For the white 'mask' I used melted white chocolate and then put on a bright pink paper candy for the nose.  The eyes are mini M & M's and the ears were yogurt covered raisins (cut in half) that were 'glued' on with chocolate.  Another simple, yet cute, snack!  You could add more details like feet and tail if you want but I decided not to add those details on these treats.
