My little chef

Over fall break we went to Gatlinburg with Mike's family. A couple of days before we left it was cold and rainy, so Addison and I made some Rice Krispy treats to take with us on our trip. I have so much fun on these activities now that Addison is getting older. She's so curious and loves to help me out, which makes it all so fun! I do think Addison ate more than she helped, but she had a blast nonetheless...

Helping stir the mix

Our Rice Krispies were not your regular Rice Krispies...of course I tried to be festive and make them fallish, so we made them into candy corns. Here is how we did it...

First we melted a half of a stick of butter and added the entire bag of marshmallows. Then we stirred the mixture until it was melted.

Then we separated the mixture into three separate bowls. The green got the biggest of the mixture and so on with the orange getting just a small bit.

Then we took food coloring and added it to the bowls, but we left one bowl with no food coloring at all...

Next we added in the Rice Krispies and to be honest I don't know the measurements. I just added them until it looked right.

Here is where the recipe is different. Instead of putting the Krispies in a pan, you get a round dish. The yellow Krispies make a circle on the outside, orange in the middle and white in the center.

After you let it sit like that for about an hour, then cut the Rice Krispies like a pizza so that they are shaped like candy corns

Ta-da!! So easy and so fun!!

We ended up having to go straight to the bathtub, but I was so worth the mess!!
