treat from hell.

Yesterday I was walking through the grocery store, lost. Like I had no idea what I was buying, what I needed, or what I wanted to cook. That never happens, but I walked away with $70 of groceries...who knows what I bought!

It seems like I'm experiencing the chef's version of writers block. But at the end of my shopping trip I suddenly remembered that I had a lot of rice krispies left over from my meatloaf last week, so I bought some marshmallows to make rice krispie treats!

And after last night, I have so much respect for moms who make this all the time! This was crazy hard! So unbelievably frustrating! And never again will I make them lol!



It started out good, mixing the butter and marshmallows. But then adding the rice krispies....uh what the hell!!

I finished mixing the krispies in, but getting it out of pot, and them cutting it into squares...they just would not come apart! It looked like a crazy amount of spider webs flying everywhere. So, not worth the trouble, and I just wanted them in my mouth, I made them into balls. Threw them in the freezer, and ate them 5 min later.

Ingredients
10 oz Reg. Marshmallows
3tbsp Butter
6 cups of Rice Krispies (I only used 3..I couldnt mix it anymore!)

  1. In a pot, melt the butter and marshmallows together, constantly stirring.
  2. After all melted, add the rice krispies, and mix until all krispies are covered.
  3. Spread the krispies on wax paper (I used aluminum foil) and cut into squares. **impossible to cut. Hence my balls**
