Yummy Rice Krispie Treats

 recipe from Mini Baker (great recipe)
I have made many rice krispie treats in my baking history, but these taste so good and are so addicting.  I cut mine into bite sized pieces so my coworkers could just pop one into their mouths.  It turns out that the treats are so tasty that everyone just popped more that one.


Mini Baker cut her treats so beautifully.  I placed mine into the freezer for a bit to set the chocolate topping so when I was cutting the squares they crunched a bit and didn't slice as perfectly as I would have liked.
Also, next time I make these I'm not going to add the caramel on the top. Too sticky.  I stacked them for the picture and they just stuck to the wax paper. I put them into the freezer again so I could take them in the car and they wouldn't be so sticky when I got to work. They were pretty sticky anyway.

 The chocolate and Nutella layer was divine.  Nice and thick and it set up beautifully. That was a big hit here at the station.

Communion Treat

I decided to practice making some treats for my son's first communion. I want to make something to give as take home thank you treats. So, I'm practicing these rice krispie treats covered in chocolate.


I used a jelly roll pan so that the treats would be a little thinner. I think that worked out alright. I cut them into squares and dipped them in melted semi-sweet chocolate. The chocolate seemed a bit thick so I might have to thin it out a bit for easier dipping. Dipping a marshmallow treat in warm chocolate must be done quickly so the treat doesn't start to get sticky.


I put them in the fridge for a little bit to help set the chocolate and this is how they turned out. Like I said I would probably just thin the chocolate a little bit to help with the dipping.



But, really no matter how the look they taste *awesome*.

I will put them in little bags with ribbon and little tags. I think that will work just fine. I might have to make some dipped in white chocolate because my son that is making his communion really likes white chocolate.
