This recipe will yield a 9 x 13 pan (approximately 6 apples)
Ingredients
- INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
- Two 10 oz. bags of mini marshmallows
- 10 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup ready to spread frosting (I used pink cherry but you can use any color or flavor because it will be covered by red sprinkles)
- Red sprinkles
- Brown sprinkles
- Mint leaves
- Optional: cookie pop sticks
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with foil and spray with Pam. Set aside.
- In a large sauce pan, melt the butter over low heat.
- And the marshmallows to the melted butter, stirring constantly.
- Once the marshmallows are melted, remove from heat and stir in the cereal and salt until well-coated.
- Using a rubber spatula (spray with Pam ), transfer the cereal mixture to prepared pan and press down firmly and evenly.
- Allow the Rice Krispies to cool in the pan completely.
- Once cooled, cut out 6 apple shapes with an apple cookie cutter.
- Apply a thin layer of ready to spread frosting on each apple shape.
- Sprinkle red sprinkles on the apple.
- Sprinkle brown sprinkles on the stem.
- Add a mint leaf by pressing firmly into the apple (the marshmallow helps it stick).
- Optional: add cookie pop sticks to make red apple Rice Krispie pops.
- ENJOY!
When they are done, wrap them up in a color cellophane baggie and send off to school for all of your kids teachers. They will love the smile and the teachers will absolutely love the taste and kind gesture.
