apple Rice Krispie Treats <\/h2>\n

For these back to school Rice Krispie Treats (or, a just for fun fall treat), we start with our BEST Rice Krispie Treat recipe<\/strong><\/a>. Add some red food coloring, shape into apples, add a pretzel stem and some gumdrop leaves. <\/p>\n

IDEA:<\/h3>\n

For actual apple flavor, try adding crushed dried apples, like we did to make these apple cinnamon Rice Krispie Treats<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

how to make apple Rice Krispie Treats<\/h2>\n

You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n

RICE KRISPIES CEREAL <\/h3>\n

Use the classic cereal or any store-brand version. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARSHMALLOWS <\/h3>\n

You will need 10 ounces of marshmallows<\/strong>. Different brands have different densities, so it\u2019s best to use a scale or the weight printed on the bag as a guide, but in general, 10 ounces of marshmallows is about 40 regular-size OR 6 cups of mini. <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BUTTER<\/h3>\n

For best results, we recommend using European-style, salted butter. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FOOD COLORING<\/h3>\n

To avoid your treats having an aftertaste, I recommend using Americolor brand gel paste in red<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PRETZEL STICKS <\/h3>\n

Any brand of thin pretzel sticks will work. You'll be breaking them apart in thirds, so you don't need many. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SPEARMINT LEAVES <\/h3>\n

The green gum drops are perfect for apple leaves. You'll be cutting them up in bits, however, as the leaf shape is too big for the little apples. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

BAKING TRAY AND PARCHMENT PAPER<\/h3>\n

You'll arrange your finished apples on a baking tray. Parchment paper is a great tool to prevent sticking. <\/p>\n
