Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats



If you thought that normal rice krispie treats were good, than chocolate are even better! All you need is some marshmallows, a little bit of butter, and of course, chocolate rice krispie cereal. The specific ingredients are:

- 6 cups Chocolate Rice Krispie Cereal (and if you just want to make regular, use the original kind)
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 4 cups miniature marshmallows


To start out, you'll want to microwave your marshmallows in the microwave. You really want to do this in 30 second intervals and give a little stir in between. One of the reasons why I do this is because the marshmallows may not look melted, but once you give them that stir, you'll see that they really are.


Once your marshmallows come out of the microwave, give them another stir and then add them to your cereal immediately. I had to transfer my marshmallow to a larger bowl, because I didn't have enough room in the bowl I melted them in. Stir the mixture all together. For me, I had to add a little more cereal.


Next grease your  13x9 inch pan really well. It is critical to get the pan greased really well, or else it will be super hard to get your rice krispie treats out of the pan later. I used Crisco cooking spray. Next, you can either rub your hands with shorting ( which is what I did), or you can use wax paper to push the rice krispies into the pan.


Finally, chill it in the fridge until it is cold and firm. Cut into squares and then serve. Enjoy!

Blue and White Swirl Cake

So here it is....my first real cake decorating video and post! I made chocolate cake, filled with chocolate icing, and covered in blue and white flowers and stars. This cake looks a little hard to make, but in reality is very easy ! To start out, I baked two nine inch chocolate cakes, let them cool, and leveled them using my cake leveler. Then I filled and stacked them. I used store bought icing to fill the cake. More info on that below. I finally crumb coated them and put them in the freezer to chill for 15 minutes. For this cake, I made some American buttercream, and dyed half of it blue. I used some blue food coloring I had on hand, and probably put about 5-6 drops of in in my buttercream. I was worried I would not have enough buttercream to pipe on the outside of my cake if I were to fill it with my buttercream. So instead of filling my cake with the buttercream, I used a can of chocolate store bought icing I had in the pantry. So I filled and crumb coated my cakes wi...

Snickerdoodles

Since Fall is here, I thought I would post a fall themed recipe. So I usually use the recipe I have in my Betty Crocker cookbook, but today I wanted to try something different. I went online and found this recipe from Cookies and Cups, so check out her blog. I think I will probably use the Betty Crocker recipe, so I will tell you more about that at the end of this post. As usual when creaming butter and sugar, you really want to make sure you do it well. I think I creamed mine for at least 3 minutes. More time, such as 5 minutes, would be even better. Once the butter is all creamed together with the sugars, you are going to add your egg and egg yolk one at a  time.   Before we mix the eggs, we are going to add our baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, cinnamon, and vanilla. I didn't include the clip of me adding the baking soda because I didn't want you to get it confused with the cream of tartar, but don't worry, I added it. So once all of that is is ...
