Classic Rice Krispies
Ok – so before my mother calls to tell me I haven’t posted “all month” I figured I should get on here and post this one quick. I have been trying really hard to avoid dairy lately – I am allergic, it makes me puffy, and I have dress fittings every couple of weeks which makes being puffy a problem. Last week I did AWESOME – I had 1/4 cup of cheese the whole week! This week… not so much.
As I’ve said before it’s hard for me to go an entire day without something sweet, so I have to find no dairy alternatives whenever possible. (I don’t include butter on my no-dairy weeks, because I don’t react to it!) Oddly enough, rice krispies sounded amazing – so I whipped up a batch. Not just any version… my mom’s version. Caution: there will be butter. My mom doubles the butter and adds an extra 1/2 bag of marshmallows – which totally explains why her rice krispies were the best on the block when I was a kid!
We have made many many batches of these over the years – somehow on a trip to Kansas that my parents took to visit family they came back with a new rule. If somone – anyone in the house starts a new row in the rice krispy pan, you have to finish it. So, if you are that person who takes a little one inch sliver from one side – you started a row with that tiny thing and now the rest of us would have to finish the row. (I should say that 9 times out of 10 we didn’t mind finishing the row!)
Enjoy!
