2 Weeks late Valentine's Day
Ah, yes, yet another post where I have to begin by apologizing for the lack of recent updates. Well, I guess I shouldn't say that I have to apologize; I just do because I'm cool like that.
All the Valentine's Day stuff is on clearance now, and among all the items was the Rice Krispies Shape-A-Heart kit.
I have very strict standards when it comes to Rice Krispies treats. I don't believe in buying the ready-made prepackaged kind. If you're too lazy to make fresh Rice Krispies treats for your children, they need to be put into foster care. But this kit seemed like it would be a nice medium for those who want the satisfaction of a homemade treats without all the work of actually melting butter and marshmallows.
The kit comes with a bag of Rice Krispies, a heart-shaped cookie cutter, two tubes of gel icing, sugar eyeballs, and some sort of unholy marshmallow goop. The treats are simple enough to make; you simply heat up the goop in a pot and mix the cereal in (though if you ask me, I'm not entirely sure that applying heat is entirely necessary).
Next comes decoration. As usual for cooking kits, the pictures on the box are filled with unrealistic expectations.
My first two attempts looked like heart-shaped mental patients.
Since I knew that my results would never look as adorable as the examples on the box, I decided to go all out and create a Valentine's Day treats filled with anguish and horror.
HAPPY BELATED VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!
Stumble It!
