Equipment

Ingredients

  • 8 Rice Krispie treats regular sized, store-bought or homemade
  • white pearl sprinkles
  • 12 ounces light blue candy melts
  • 12 ounces bright pink candy melts

Instructions

  • Drop the candy into the shell mold, using a spoon, and make sure they’re filled evenly. You can use a toothpick to do this.

  • Let them set for about 20 minutes and then pop them out of the mold. I made 2 molds full.

Notes

  • Use firm treats: Soft homemade treats can bend during dipping, so cool them fully before decorating.
  • Prep the toppings first: Set out the crumbs, candy shells and sprinkles before melting the blue candy.
  • Thin the candy melts if needed: Stir in a tiny bit of shortening or coconut oil if the melted candy is too thick for dipping.
