I made these star Rice Krispie Treats for the holiday, and apparently my junk food junkie doesn't want to try Rice Krispie Treats. He doesn't know what he's missing.
There seems to be some kind of malfunction with my camera. Repeatedly I've uploaded photos only to find that several are missing. The scary part is that if it weren't for blogging and knowing that I took photos of certain steps, I wouldn't know the photos were missing. So what photos of the kids and life have gone missing that I don't know about? I'm thinking the malfunction has something to do with having a toddler in the house, but I'll have to pay closer attention to the button pressing and see.
Although Rice Krispie Treats are fairly simple and I've already posted about them before, I took photos of all the steps I took. The following is what remains of my photos, most are gone.
I melted the marshmallows and added the 6 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal.
Then stirred it together. I love this texture, but it is fleeting. The gooey marshmallow strings between the cereal. It's soft and pliable and delicious.
Here, for some extra patriotism I added red and blue sprinkles to the mix. I used what I had on hand which were the sugar frosting type ones, not the big ones which would have likely been more visible. Then, I greased a pan with butter and pressed the mixture into it, trying to make it level.
A regular ol' star shaped cookie cutter helped me with the stars. I ended up with weird left over shapes, perfect for "testing".
I hope you had a great 4th, we did! The summer is flying by!!
