I told you last week that I am seriously looking forward to Finding Dory coming out and am planning a Dory Themed Day at our house to prepare for the movie! I shared Finding Dory Chocolate Bark last week and today I want to share another Dory themed treat!
For those of you who are busy, you can make this treat with store-bought Rice Krispie Treats. If you have extra time on your hands, you can make the Rice Krispie treats from scratch. I've included a recipe below for that! For all of you who are like me and looking for shortcuts, here's how to decorate your Finding Dory and Finding Nemo Rice Krispies treats.
You'll want to start by lining a cookie sheet with wax paper and placing the 6 Rice Krispies bars on the sheet. Set aside.
For Dory:
1. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave 1 tablespoon solid shortening for 45 seconds or until melted. Add the blue candy melts and stir until melted. (You may have to microwave in additional 10 second increments until the candy is smooth and melted).
2. Dip 3 of the Rice Krispies bars into the melted blue chocolate and place on the cookie sheet to harden.
3. For the Dory eyes, pipe 2 white oval-shapes with the vanilla cookie icing. Let the icing harden for 5 minutes. With the black icing tube, pipe 2 smaller black oval shapes on top of the white ovals. Let “set” for 5 minutes.
4. For the Dory mouth, use the tube of black icing to pipe a smile.
5. For the Dory fins, cut 1/4 piece from each yellow candy fruit piece. Outline each fin with black icing gel.
6. Dab some cookie icing on the inside of the piece and attach to the bottom left side of each Dory Krispies. Attach each remaining piece to the right side with a dab of cookie icing.
For Nemo
1. In another microwave safe bowl, microwave 1 tablespoon solid shortening for 45 seconds or until melted. Add the orange candy melts and stir until melted. (Microwave in 10 second increments until melted, if needed).
2. Dip the remaining 3 Rice Krispies bars into the melted orange chocolate and place on the cookie sheet for 15 minutes to harden.
3. Pipe 2 large circles of vanilla cookie icing on each orange Rice Krispies treat for the eyes and pipe a thick line across the top of your rice Krispie treat, above the eyes.
4. Place a chocolate chip on top of each icing circle and let set for 5 minutes to harden.
5. Make a smile with the black icing on each Nemo treat and outline the white line above the eyes.
6. For the Nemo fins, cut 1/4 piece from each orange candy fruit piece. Dab some cookie icing on the inside of the piece and attach to the bottom left side of each Nemo Krispies. Attach each remaining piece to the right side with a dab of cookie icing. Outline each fin with black icing gel.
Enjoy!
