A Halloween treat that's like a cross between a candy apply and a rice krispie treat. I originally posted this on recipezaar/food.com. 2nd Place winner in the easy-kids-recipes.com Halloween Recipe Contest 2009.

Steps

20 mins

1

Push a wooden stick into the top of each apple.
2

Put the marshmallows and butter in a medium sized microwave-safe bowl and heat on HIGH in the microwave for 15 seconds. Stir. Heat for another 10 seconds and stir. Marshmallows should be smooth and pourable at this point. If not, heat in 10 second intervals until ready.
3

While still very hot, dip each apple one at a time into the marshmallow (you may need to return to microwave for a few seconds if marshmallow starts to get stiff). Lightly roll each in crispy rice, and set on a wax paper-covered cookie sheet 1-2" apart.
4

Reheat any leftover marshmallows (you may need to add one or two at this point). With a spoon, drizzle remaining marshmallow over apples, giving them a "spiderweb" look. While still hot, add sprinkles to the coating, if desired.
5

Allow to cool completely before serving. These are very sticky, but tasty!
