Alright, let me tell ya ’bout these here Rice Krispie Mini things. You know, the little sweet squares? My grandkids, they love ’em. Always askin’ for ’em when they come over. So, I figured, why not make ’em myself? Save a few pennies, ya know?
First off, gotta get yourself some butter. Don’t skimp, get the good stuff. Melt it in a big ol’ pot. Not too hot, now. Keep it low, like you’re simmerin’ somethin’. Gotta be patient, don’t rush it.
Then, you throw in them marshmallow things. The little ones, they melt better. Dump ’em right in with the butter. Stir it around with a big spoon. Gotta keep stirrin’ or it’ll stick to the bottom. And nobody wants burnt marshmallow, right?
Don’t turn up the heat, keep it low. That’s the secret, ya see. My neighbor, she always burns hers. Says she don’t know why. I told her, “Lower the heat, woman!” But she never listens.
Keep stirrin’ until it’s all smooth and gooey. Like melted cheese, kinda. You’ll see. Then, you pour in the Rice Krispies. The cereal, ya know? Don’t dump it all at once. Sprinkle it in and stir. Keep addin’ until it’s all mixed up good.
- Butter
- Mini Marshmallows
- Rice Krispies
Now, you gotta work fast. It starts to harden up quick. Get yourself a pan. Any pan will do. Grease it up with some butter. Then, dump the Rice Krispie mix in there. Press it down with your spoon. Make it flat.
Let it sit for a bit. Cool down, ya know? Then, cut it into squares. Little ones, for the kids. Or big ones, if you’re hungry. Ain’t no rules, really.
You can add stuff, too. Chocolate chips, sprinkles, whatever you got. My grandkids like the sprinkles. Makes it colorful, they say. Just throw ’em in with the Rice Krispies. Easy peasy.
Don’t forget the salt! Just a pinch. Makes it taste better, I think. You wouldn’t think so, but it does. Trust me.
And that’s it. That’s how you make Rice Krispie Minis. Simple, right? My grandkids love ’em. Always askin’ for more. Guess I gotta make another batch.
You know, they sell these things in the store, too. Already made. But why buy ’em when you can make ’em yourself? Tastes better homemade, I say. And you know what’s in it. No funny business.
Anyways, gotta go. Marshmallows are meltin’. Don’t wanna burn ’em. Remember, low heat! That’s the key.
