I love rice crispy treats.... Kamal loves Rice Crispy treats... So today after the kids did a craft with fruity cereal and marshmallows (idea taken from Pinerest...which I am addicted too!) We had 1/2 a bag of mini marshmallows left... In my mind there was nothing else to do with them except make some treats!!!
These are a little different though... I added peanut butter and cocoa powder... Hence the brownish color... Oh and we used brown rice cereal. If you would like to try these Sweet yet salty treats... This is what you will need. I didn't really measure anything while throwing it all in a pot... But this is what I think it should be!
What you need:
-about half a bag mini marshmallows
-2 Tablespoons butter
-about 1/4 cup peanut butter
-2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
-about 3 cups brown rice cereal
Method:
-spray a 9x11 pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
-In a medium/large pot melt butter over med-low heat. When starting to melt at marshmallows. Stirring constantly. When marshmallows are almost all melted add peanut butter and stir until combined and then stir in cocoa.
-Take of heat and add cereal. Stir until all covered in marshmallow goodness.
-Dump all of the gooey sticky mess into pan and press down so it fills out the whole pan.
-Wait for it to cool and then cut and serve.
-Good luck waiting... Just try not to burn yourself!!!
Not to sure how many it should make... It all depends on how big you cut them.
Enjoy ;)
