Especially for the non-American lemmings, have you ever had a rice krispie treat? Are you able to make or buy these where you live?
I just ate one for the first time in many many years, and wow I forgot how delicious they are.

Yes, and they are indeed delicious!
Pro tip. Don't buy the store ones. They're hot garbage compared to home made. Especially the ooey-gooey, just made, not cooled yet rice krispie treat.

I was given a bag of packaged rice krispies when I went to an event. and they have been amazing. but I suspect you are right, and I think I need to make homemade rice krispie treats very soon.

You will not regret it.

Rice Krispie treats are my all time favorite dessert. I could very easily eat a whole plate of the motherfuckers. I hate seeing them at parties because then the whole time is just trying to resist eating them all.
Only homemade tho. The pre-packaged ones are terrible! I dont know how you fuck up rice krispies and marshmallow fluff, but they found a way in the name of shelf-stable preservation.

multiple comments about how much better the homemade version is has got me jumping to go buy the ingredients at the store and make homemade ones. I forgot how amazing rice krispie treats are.

Try this, and thank me later: https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/ultimate-brown-butter-rice-krispies-treats-recipe
The milk powder (don’t skip it, that’s the secret ingredient) keeps them squishy for d a y s

Browning the butter like that recipe suggests is an absolute game changer!

I suspect my spouse is going to demand we make this recipe. Thank you.

Also, I never knew I could get King Arthur flour shipped directly from their website. but $9.95 for shipping makes it more expensive than going to the store unless I buy like 8 bags of flour.

FWIW I seem to recall getting free shipping codes every now and again from their email list, but haven’t used one in forever so this is fuzzy memory at best. My bet is you could find a free shipping code if you looked a bit.

I joined their Baker's Rewards program to receive emails from them and they sent me 20% off for an order over US$50. I'm not sure if I want to buy $50 in flour right now but I will consider it/wait for other promos.

Rice krispie treats are like salads - a good one is really really great and a mediocre one is so disappointing and sad.

I have, but not for many years as they are not vegetarian, and vegan marshmallows are expensive.
robocall@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 194d
I didn't realize that rice krispie treats are not vegetarian but good to know. I have a lot of vegan friends, so I will know to not offer them to them.
Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip · 5 pts · 194d
They generally have butter (dairy, obv. not vegan) and marshmallows (gelatin, not really even vegetarian). Both have pretty easy swaps on the market, you just have to scope them out in advance.
nocturne@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 194d
What do you swap for marshmallows? Besides vegan marshmallows, which i looked up and are $7 for a 10oz bag here, vs $1.25 for a 16oz bag of not vegan marshmallows.
Ludicrous0251@piefed.zip · 2 pts · 194d
Vegan marshmallows. It's better for my blood sugar that those tasty fuckers are so expensive.
admin@scrapetacular.ydns.eu · 1 pts · 194d
Can you use treacle instead of marshmallow?
Crackhappy@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 194d
Yes, and I don't like them at all.
robocall@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 194d
fair enough!
DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 194d
Like those you get prepackaged at a store?
Yea I kinda don't like it... too much sugar

Triumph@fedia.io · 5 pts · 194d
Home made are much better.
robocall@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 194d
apparently we gotta make them at home to get the good ones. I've recently become obsessed with the prepackaged ones so imagine how crazy I'll be eating the homemade version!

response: yes, we have a variant of rice thing, probably not equal
RBWells@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 194d
We make these occasionally and yes I think they are good!
anon6789@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 194d
We used to also make them with Fruity or Cocoa Pebbles instead of Rice Krispies. Good stuff!
sundaymidnight@piefed.social · 2 pts · 193d
that is "turrón"?
ok, do you have "alfajores"? 😝
robocall@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 193d
I don't think I've ever had turrón, but I think that is different than rice krispie treats.
Where I live, we have many Latinos, so we do have alfajores.
Alfajores are good. I recently saw some that are dipped in chocolate and I really want to try them.
sundaymidnight@piefed.social · 2 pts · 192d
try "alfajores Mar del Plata" (this besch is not so great in comparison with Cancún, but the alfajores are the best of planet)
robocall@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 192d
Cancún is full of sulfuric scented seaweed but I'll ask about the alfajores Mar del plata
IWW4@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 194d
Sure, Every now and then I will make a batch to snack on.
