How
Not to Make Rice Krispies Treats
1. Don’t scorch
the marshmallows and butter. Cook over low heat and stir constantly.
2. Get the marshmallows
hot enough. If the marshmallows are too cool, they will set before the
cereal is well coated. Remember that the cereal will lower the temperature
of the melted marshmallows and cause it to set.
3. Don’t
add the chocolate chips or other extras to the marshmallows until the
marshmallows are melted and very hot. If you add these too early, you
will have trouble melting the marshmallows. Add nuts or fruits with
the cereal. You can add chocolate chips at the same time; the hot marshmallows
will melt the chips.
4. We understand
that stale marshmallows will also make poor quality treats. (We
thank Sonya Ward for this tip.)
