A Desperate Attempt…
Yep, that’s right. Rice Crispy Treats are my very, VERY favorite dessert. I know it’s silly and even ridiculous next to all the tasty desserts that are out there, but it’s these tried and true treats that are my fav.
I love them so much that I even attempted to make them WITHOUT PAM. You know, the cooking spray that keeps things from sticking to the pot? I buy mine at Costco, but the last time I made a Costco run I was in such a hurry that I forgot to pick up the 8-can case (ok, it’s a three can case, but they are huge cans and they last us forever).
Without Pam, I feel lost. It’s a pain to make spaghetti, or soup, or eggs, or chicken or ANYTHING!! But I was feeling desperate. I’m at the end of my pack of pills, I’ve switched medications, my husband was playing with Mr. B in the garage, and I knew it was now or never. So I rushed around the kitchen gathering marshmallows, butter, Rice Crispies, and a pot. In went the butter, then went the marshmallows. I stirred and stirred and stirred, but the marshmellows still stuck to the bottom. Slowly, at first, but then more and more and more started to stick. I started to scrape. Stick and scrape, stick and scrape. I just wanted the marshmallows to melt so I could mix them with the crunchy crispies and eat them, for cryin’ out loud!! Stick and scrape, stick and scrape.
As the stench of scorched marshmellows wafted through our little home, Hele came in to find me frantically trying to mix the few cups of marshmallows that were’nt burnt with the little bit of crispies that could be mixed in.
Hovering over the gooey concoction, I looked at him and said, “Hey, these are MINE!”
“No problem!” he replied, “Doesn’t smell like anything I’d wanna eat anyway.”
So I ate the three or four bites of what I could salvage, but for some reason, when there’s nobody there to compete with, it kinda takes all the glory out of the triumph.

Hey, I heard you havn’t been feeling well. We missed you at story time today. I also, LOVE rice crispy treats. They’re not my all time fave but still love them. When I was pregnant with Scotty I would stop at Circle K on my way to work. Did I buy doughnuts? NOPE Anything that would be considered breakfast?? NOPE I’d buy the large size Rice Krispy treat and eat it for breakfast. BUT….you know what’s better? Melt the butter and marshmallows but instead of rice krispies, use popped butter popcorn. And then stir in peanut m&m’s. Yummy!!!
OOOH RAYSHA! You can’t be my friend anymore. That treat just sounds tooooo sinful - especially because I LOVE popcorn!!
Oh, I have a cold/sinus infection and Mr. B has a cough. I didn’t think I should bring him in and share the germs with ya’ll. We love story time, so we were sad to miss it, but I can’t stand it when people bring their sick kids to places when we all know that kids spread germs! We’ll see ya Sunday!
Hahaha! That’s hilarious. Hub LOVES rice crispy treats too. He’s always making them.
Never much cared for ‘em (Sorry!).
But I know a Restaurant up here in Safford that could probably use yer Cooking Skills, if ye ever got That Desperate!
Aw, Normie! And you was so close tuh bein’ the “perfect man”. Guess I’ll have tuh stay with ol’ Gila Man!
