I don't make "crisp rice squares" very often. For one, because they aren't overwhelmingly sweet or rich, I think I probably could eat a whole pan. For another, as someone who enjoys baking, it feels sort of like cheating. When I do, and I bring them somewhere, people--without fail--go nuts. Go figure.
According to the official Kellogg's Rice Krispies website, here's how you make them:
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 package (10 oz., about 40) regular marshmallows
- OR -
4 cups miniature marshmallows
6 cups Kellogg's® Rice Krispies® cereal
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.
Literate Baker Notes: I use 4T of butter instead of 3. I needn't explain why. I also put a little non-stick spray in the pot with the marshmallows, in the bowl with the cereal, and on my hands to spread them out. Doing so makes the process and the dishes much easier.
In addition to their taste and texture awesomeness, RKTs are fairly light and remarkably sculptable. That makes them the perfect product for 3D elements on cakes. If you're a professional cake maker or addicted to cake shows on TV, you probably already know this. I imagine many of you are not either of those things. But maybe you want to be. Or maybe you just want an excuse to make/play with Rice Krispies Treats.
I'm making a sneaker (a Nike Air Jordan, to be specific) as the topper for a groom's cake this weekend. Other options...

| A monkey head. |

| Wings and drumsticks. (Really.) |
Of course, maybe your just want to eat them. I know I do.
Keep it sweet.

I was just thinking about making Rice Krispie Treats, mostly due to an abundance of marshmallows in my house. They are yummy and sometimes just the perfect not too sweet, not too heavy, snack/dessert.
