Snap, Crackle, Ewwwwwwww!




Perhaps I am a slow learner. Looking at my latest batch of ''kitchen oops'' I must be. I have tried numerous variations on the good ol' standard Rice Krispie Treats and have never met with any kind of success. When kids won't eat something that is sticky and sweet then you know you have failed in the dessert department.


Tomorrow I am supposed to bring in treats for our Classical Conversations home school group. My last couple attempts to put a spin on the treats was coconut, chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Yeah, I know, but it sounded good at the time. That batch ended up uneaten. The next stab at it included sweetened condensed milk. Again, it sounded like a good idea at the time. It wasn't. That leaves me with my latest concoction. I thought I would use marshmallow creme instead of marshmallows and added chopped up Andes mints. Doesn't that sound good? I thought so too! Guess what...it doesn't taste anything like it sounds.


I official give up. I concede victory to the three little elves taunting me from the front of the box. I will leave their recipe alone from now on. I promise.
