    I used to make these a lot when my kids were little. Now I make them with my grandkids and we have made them with food coloring in the marshmallow and putting melted chocolate on top. I made your rolls for Easter dinner. They are always a big hit with my family. Hope you had a blessed Easter 🐣🐇🌸

    I don't put butter in mine, it makes it soggy. But the boxed one has sort of an after taste from the preservatives in them. But everything tastes better homemade. You can add any type of flavoring, coloring, candies, etc.

    A non stick cooking pan works best and add some vanilla before you add the rice krispies. Running your hands under really cold water is better than butter on hands. There is no taste comparison my kids tell me.

    Traditionally in the uk, our rice Krispy treats are not made with marshmallows. We make ours with butter, golden syrup, rice Krispys and a large bar of chocolate. At Easter, we make them into little nest shapes and add Cadburys mini eggs and a little fluffy Easter chick toy.

    • @amypletcher4411

    I think hands down, scratch Rice Krispies treats are best! I also feel there is a strange metal taste to the store bought. I like to melt my marshmallows in the microwave using a Tupperware bowl (no sticking). Then add my Rice Krispies and spread it all out on waxed paper and gently pull them out and avoid pressing them down, “seems” to be more. I cut them up with a plastic knife (no sticking). The kids don’t realize they aren’t as dense, they go further, and easier to eat for those that need something softer. Thanks for the compare, it’s a valuable lesson.

    I don’t like rice crispy treats at all. I do love caramel crispy treats because they are crunchy not soft, and they have a better flavour. They’re made the same way but you just add a packet of chewy caramel candies to the butter and marshmallow and melt it all together. After they are put into the slab pan, drizzle over some melted chocolate for decoration. So much better.
