12 oz. pink candy melts
4 graham cracker sheets, crushed into fine crumbs

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Melt the pink candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.

- Melt the blue candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
- Insert a cake pop or candy stick into one end of each Rice Krispie treat.
- Dip each treat into the melted blue candy until fully coated.
- While the coating is still wet, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs along the bottom portion to create a sandy beach effect.

- Place the decorated treats on the prepared baking sheet and allow them to set for about 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Homemade Rice Krispie treats may be used if fully cooled.
Swap blue candy melts for tinted white candy melts for a lighter ocean color.
Add gummy fish, candy sharks, or edible starfish for extra decoration.
Crushed vanilla cookies can replace graham crackers for the sandy effect.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Do not refrigerate or freeze, as the texture and coating may change.
