Snow White Red Apple Treats
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 10 oz marshmallows
- 6 cups crisped rice cereal
- Red food dye
- Blue food dye
- Medium or thin pretzel sticks
- Green dyed gumpaste or sour candy strips
Directions
-
In a large saucepan melt butter over low heat.
-
Add marshmallows and 1 tablespoon red dye, and 1 drop blue dye, and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
-
Add crisped rice cereal and stir until fully incorporated with melted marshmallow and dye.
-
Working quickly with lightly greased hands, roll a handful of the cereal into a ball. Mold it to create the shape of a red apple with a bit more weight at the top of the ball, and denting the top center with your finger. This will be where you will place the stem.
-
Repeat this process until all cereal is used.
-
Break a 2 inch piece of pretzel stick off and push the “stem” into the top of the apple treat.
-
Roll our your green dyed gumpaste to a 1/8” thickness, at most.
-
Using a sharp pairing knife, free form cut a small leaf shape. Pinch the ends to resemble a leaf and push one side into the top of the apple, against the pretzel stem. Repeat with all of the apples.
