A Fun Fall Treat!

 

Last night, Aaron and I checked one of our fall bucket list items off the list.

 

We made candy corn rice krispie treats.

 

Step 1:

Light a pumpkin spice candle and test out some Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale to get in the Fall spirit.

 

Step 2:

Assemble the 4 ingredients. 1 box of Rice Krispies, 1 package of marshmallows, food coloring, and a stick of butter.

 

Step 3:

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter over the stove and mix in the entire package of marshmallows until smooth and creamy.

 

 

Step 4:

Divide marshmallow mixture into three different bowls.

All together, you should have 1.5 cups of the marshmallow mixture. We used 3/4 cup for the orange part, 1/2 cup for the yellow, and 1/4 cup for the white.

 

Step 5:

Mix the orange mixture with 3 cups of Rice Krispies. Warning: it is messy and you will have rice krispies stuck everywhere. It works best if you get your hands wet first, or spray cooking spray on them.

 

Mix the yellow mixture with 2 cups of Rice Krispies.

And the white mixture with 1/2 a cup of Rice Krispies.

 

Step 6:

Spray a circular cake pan with cooking spray. Add the orange mixture on the outer edge of the pan, like so.

 

Step 7:

Add the yellow mixture next.

 

Step 8:

Then, add the white mixture last.

Our white mixture might have sat on the stove too long because it kind of turned brown and carmel-like...oops!

 

Step 9:

Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then cut into slices like a pizza/pie.

 

Step 10:

ENJOY!!

 

 

Neither one of us had ever made rice krispie treats before so it was a fun, new experience.  We didn't realize how sticky and messy it was and we got a little bit frustrated at first, but it was well worth the yummy treat.
