Fall makes me want to bake. And cook comfort food. And eat. Okay, fall is a pretty delicious season - can we agree on that?
On a weekend coffee date with a friend, the subject turned to baking and the simple joy of Rice Krispie Treats (it just did, okay?). My friend is a new mom with a toddler as well and spoke of the convenience of buying them pre-made. But we agreed it's just not the same. So on the way home I picjed up the super complicated ingredients needed to make this tasty goodness (yup - butter, marshmellows and Rice Krispies) and set about a little factory of sorts, eventually filling my fridge with batches and batches.
I used the classic Kellog's recipe here and I swear, it was about 5 minutes per batch. Pretty soon our fridge was filled with trays of treats...needless to say, Jack was a happy boy!
Rice Krispie Treats
1. Melt 3 Tb of butter in a big pot over medium heat. Add 4 cups mini-marshmellows until melted.
2. Add 6 cups of Rice Krispies and stir to coat. Spoon into greased 9x12 pan and use a wet spatula to smooth the top. Chill!
Could they be any easier? I must have forgotten or I would make them every weekend! I packaged up my treats and dropped them off to my girlfriend, my grandma and my sister. Good deeds for the week? Done and done. Plus I got the leftovers :) they lasted about a half a day...
Have a lovely amazing day!
this is a favorite in our home too
ReplyDeletemmm yum great idea, I should make some of these for my son :)
ReplyDeleteI always bring them to family gatherings. There are about a dozen kids under the age of 8, so I make a big tray of them, top them with seasonally appropriate candy (it will be M&Ms for fall this weekend!). I grab a can of "whipped topping" and they have so much fun squirting it on their squares before they eat them. Entertainment AND Food All In One!
ReplyDeleteI love them but the hubby prefers puffed wheat cake... which is also delicious and easy!
ReplyDeleteMMMM, rice krispie treats! They are amazing! I like to throw in some Fruity Pebbles too, to add some fun colors! And also, they are technically fruit, right? So they are healthy! :)
ReplyDeletemy mom JUST brought some pumpkin spice marshmallows from the states to my house this week.
ReplyDeletewe made rice krispie squares WITH the pumpkin spice flavored marshmallows.
can i say that it's little slice of heaven in one bite?!

and it's easy, to boot!

I haven't had Rice Krispie squares in ages. Sometimes it pays to revisit the classics :D Those look so good!
ReplyDeleteI've never been a big fan of Rice Krispie squares. I love smelling them cook though. Mmmm, butter and marshmallows...
