Instructions

  • If you opt to make your own Rice Krispy Treats, allow them to cool and then cut them into rectangles using a rectangle-shaped cookie cutter or a sharp knife.
  • Melt black and white candy melts in separate microwave safe bowls at 30% power for 30 second increments.  Stop and stir.  Add Wilton EZ Thins if you have trouble with clumpy candy melts.  Microwave until fully melted.  Dip Rice Krispy Treat down into melted candy about 1/4 inch.  Dip half in white candy melts and half in black candy melts.  Allow to dry on parchment paper (about 20 minutes).
  • While waiting for your candy melts to harden, fill disposable decorating bags with chocolate or brown icing fitted with a #47 decorating tip, a bag of red icing fit with a #4 tip and a bag with white icing and a #2 tip.
  • Using the brown icing, draw a border around the Rice Krispy Treats dipped in black candy to create a chalkboard "frame".   Using a blue edible marker, draw horizontal lines on the Rice Krispy Treats dipped in white chocolate to create notebook paper "lines".
  • Using red edible food writing pen, draw edge down the notebook paper Rice Krispy Treats.
  • With the red and white icing, draw chalk and apples on the chalkboard Rice Krispy Treats.
  • Add 1 + 1 = 2 and ABC on the chalkboards.  If you know your teacher's name, you can pipe it on using the white icing!
  • Add grades onto the notebook Rice Krispy Treats.  You can also write little notes or fun abbreviations like Ally & Stella = BFF's to give to school friends.
  • When all treats are decorated, place them inside treat liners to give them that extra special touch.  Package them in small boxes tied in red and white twine and attach a hang tag with teacher's name.
