I first made these wonderful treats back in September for String Beane to take to school. He loved them! He loves everything Krispy Treat and so do I. So I make them a lot. Too much maybe. But I really like the praise from my little Beanes, so I will keep making them.
Aren't they cute? They are super easy to make and you can customize them very easily for food allergies! Woot!
Ingredients
6 C. Krispy Rice Cereal
1 pkg. large marshmallows
3 T. butter (I used Flieshman's unsalted margarine)
1 small pkg. Jell-o powder, cherry or strawberry flavor
25 cola flavored gummy candies
1 pkg. large marshmallows
3 T. butter (I used Flieshman's unsalted margarine)
1 small pkg. Jell-o powder, cherry or strawberry flavor
25 cola flavored gummy candies
Green fruit roll ups
Baking spray
Wax Paper
Red Food Coloring, optional
Wax Paper
Red Food Coloring, optional
Directions
Place marshmallows and butter in a large sauce pan and heat over medium-low heat until the marshmallows are melted. Stir in the jello. If desired, you can add a few drops of red food coloring (depending on how "red" your jell-o is). Add Krispy Rice cereal and stir well. Spray hands with baking spray and roll mixture into balls (a little larger than a golf ball) and drop on wax paper.
After balls have set for a few minutes, use your thumb to press into the top to make an "apple" shape.
Add a cola flavored gummy candy for the stem. Cut some green fruit roll ups into diamond shapes and stuff in there for the leaves.
Makes 25 apples!
I originally saw this recipe here. I just had to change to a milk free margarine and change up the candies to make it work for us.
Here is a what the free printable looks like. Isn't it cute? Hope on over here and print some out for yourself.
I got about 25 apples out of this recipe. I used the printable and some clear baggies and packaged them up for String Beane's class. They loved them.
