Fun with Rice Krispies

Rice Krispies is one of the easiest and the earliest recipes children learn how to make. You just need 3 basic ingredients and you can shape, cut, and add as much or little decorations and even flavors to them.

Last year I tried adding peppermint to the rice crispies and ever since, my son would always ask for Peppermint Flavored Rice Crispies. Today, I wanted to try just a plain old mint flavor and added some chocolate chips to the rice crispies. They taste lovely!

Many of our kitchen wares are small and we don’t really eat that much. Again, I had to decrease the amount of ingredients in the common recipes for my family. That’s okay, less is more after all! For this recipe, I used clarifying butter and jumbo camping marshmallows (which I cut into smaller pieces for smoother and faster melting). I also used an 18.5x25cm pan, but I did remove some of the rice crispies, rolled them flat, and made heart-shaped cut outs.
