I love Rice Krispie treats. There’s something about the whole process of making the treats that just makes Rice Krispie treats so fun. I particularly like eating them when the marshmallow is still gooey and everything is nice and warm.
One day I decided to make myself a batch (yes – myself…I eat whole batches all by myself). I melted the butter, patiently stirred the marshmallows with my spatula, mixed in the krispies, threw in those cool colored sprinkles I always add in, and then mushed it all into the glass baking pan. As I was proudly gazing at my culinary feat, I took a look at the spatula and thought, “Weird…I could’ve sworn this spatula used to be longer.” I just chalked it up to fuzzy memory and quickly forgot about it.
A few hours later, I was happily munching on the delicious treats, when I bit into something hard. Something harder than a sprinkle or a krispie. Low and behold – a piece of white plastic – part of the spatula! My spatula had melted with the marshmallows and the pieces had blended in with the whiteness perfectly so I couldn’t spot them.
Moral of the story – make sure that you use heat-resistant spatulas if you’re going to make Rice Krispie treats. If you get a colored spatula, that’s even better! (More contrast against the melted mallows.)
Original Rice Krispie Treat Recipe:
1. In large saucepan melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from heat.
2. Add KELLOGG’S RICE KRISPIES cereal. Stir until well coated.
3. Using buttered spatula or wax paper evenly press mixture into 13 x 9 x 2-inch pan coated with cooking spray. Cool. Cut into 2-inch squares. Best if served the same day.
