i must be hard up for some sweets (as if i don't have carrot cake, ice cream treats and cookies in the house), because when i looked at the rice cakes that have gone uneaten for the last month on the counter...i thought i can make rice krispy treats out of those. i did a quick search online and found nothing (have only ever made rice krispy's once as a child at amanda's house and wasn't sure how to go about it). so i thought i would put my kitchen experimenting hat on and give it a whirl. i made a small batch with organic brown rice no salt rice cakes. kind of takes the health out of it, when you're mixing it with jumbo, corn syrup filled marshmallows, but somehow still felt a little better for me than the real thing. see photos below for a step by step. they we're approved by hubby who really did say "i like these better than real rice krispy treats." yes!
