Rice Krispie Treats

The flock

Just wanted to share my version of Rice Krispie Treats. They turn out perfect every time (it's a little bit hard to mess up Rice Krispie Treats :) I love their consistency to use with moulds. You can also use metal cookie cutters to create shapes or just pour the batch in to a 9X13 cake pan sprayed with Pam.

We can't have Easter without our Rice Krispie Nests filled with jelly bean eggs and topped with Peeps. I use muffin tins sprayed with Pam to shape the nests. Be sure to press down in the middle of the nest to make room for the eggs. This is a sure way to meet your daily requirement of unnatural food colors and additives!

Fancy Nancy's Rice Krispie Treats

In a large pan over low heat melt:

1 cube of butter (you can use margarine but it changes the taste)
1 large (16 oz) package of marshmallows (I like the small ones because they melt faster)
Food coloring (if you want to fancy them up!)

Stir occasionally as butter and marshmallows melt so they don't scorch.

When the butter and marshmallows are completely melted add:

10 cups brand name Rice Krispies or 12 cups generic Rice Krispies

(I don't know what makes the difference between brand and generic
but it takes more generic to achieve the same result)

Mix thoroughly until the Rice Krispies are evenly coated with the butter/marshmallow mix. Pour in to a 9X13 pan or shape using moulds. Be sure to spray your pan/moulds with Pam before you put your Rice Krispie Treats in them. Let cool and eat!

Happy cooking!
