Mini Apple Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Treats are so easy to make on their own, but they are so easy to work with that you can get creative with them. I love how easy it is to create festive shapes with these fun marshmallow and cereal squares! For back to school, or just fall in general, these Mini Apple Rice Krispie Treats are the perfect thing to make for teachers and students alike.

The best part is, they look complicated, but they are so easy that anyone can make these treats. f you are really short on time, you can use the pre-made Rice Krispie treats and cut the apple shapes from them.

Mini Apple Rice Krispie Treats

Ingredients:

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 package (10 ounces or about 40) large marshmallows
• 12 Tootsie Roll Midgies
• 12 ounce Wilton red candy melts
• green M&M’s (I separated the green ones out from a regular bag.)
• 1 1/2″  – 2 ” round cookie cutter

Directions:

1. Grease a 13 x 9 pan. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.

2. In a large pot melt butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted.

3. Remove from heat. Add  Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until well coated.

4. Use a buttered spatula or wax paper to evenly press Rice Krispie mixture into 13 x 9 pan.

5. Allow the Rice Krispie treats to cool.

6. Use a 1 1/2″ – 2 ” round cookie cutter to cut each Rice Krispie Treat into round circles (see photo) and set aside.

7. Cut 4 Midgie Tootsie Rolls in half and then cut in half again long ways and set aside.

8. Pour the red candy melts into a microwavable safe dish. Heat for 30 seconds, stir and repeat until melted.

9. Dip the round Rice Krispie Treats in the red melted chocolate. Lift up with a fork and allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

10. Gently place the dipped Rice Krispie Treat in a standing position on the wax paper lined baking sheet.

11. Gently press Tootsie Roll Midgie ‘stem’ on top and then place a green M&M beside the stem to create a ‘leaf’.

12. Repeat with all the Rice Krispie Treats.
