I hopped online to find a recipe for the, what I thought would be the WORLD'S EASIEST DESSERT, and found one right away that looked "to die for"! We're talking made with the real-deal mini marshmallows and not the "fluff in a jar" imitation stuff, and mini oreos!!!!! YES, I KNOW!!!! I was excited about the mini oreos part too! I read the recipe and it sounds simple enough, so si senorita, print was the next thing that I did! My mouth was watering so bad waiting for the stupid paper just to come off of the printer!
After I got off of work, I headed to the store to get the stuff to make the treats and I was sooo proud of myself, since I had enough time to go purchase the goods, go home make them, chill them, and fix my hair before the shin-dig! I had this in the bag y'all, again, so I thought!
Step One ("We Can Have Lots of Fun....") of the recipe: Melt the butter and the marshmallows in a large bowl in the microwave...
CHECK!!!!!
Step Two ("It's Just Me & You...."): Mix the Rice Crispies and Oreos into the marshmallow goo
Was I suppose to get this messy making these things?!?
Maybe I failed to mention that this was my first time making these?...But....Moving right along...
VOILA!!!!! Finished product, or rather, Finished Mess!! Rice Crispies were EVERYWHERE!!! Literally, everywhere....all over the stove top, countertops, burners, floor, my hands, on my clothes, and I also spotted some on my face, but I'm not sure how those got there!!!
They looked GREAT from appearance, but felt and sounded terrible when I started to cut into them. I quickly learned that there were a TON of loose rice crispies that didn't make it into the marshmallow sticky, goo stuff! Talk about pissed! That is exactly what I was after being so excited about making them, shopping for the stuff, and going through the motion of actually making these friggin things, all just so they could crap out on me and not work! Then it was off to PLAN B: Head back to Harris Teeter and buy a pack of Mint Oreos for the dipping party!
So Melissa, if you are reading this, I am sorry that my domesticated, housewife skills failed me on your wonderful day, but boy am I glad that someone else brought some rice crispy treats and also that there were so many more yummy things there than my lame oreos!
**Lesson learned from this FAIL: I must be too good for the simple Rice Crispy Treats! Next time I'll stick to something more complicated and challenging that I know I can make, like a Burnt Sugar Candy Bar Cake (made from scratch-OH YEAH BABY!!!)!!!!
That's hilarious!!! I love that the treats failed though, because I absolutely LOVE mint oreos!!! They are to die for!! And they were even better in chocolate!! ;-)

I am sooo glad you loved my Mint Oreos Sharon! lol Although I can't really take credit for whipping them together. I love those things too, but for some odd reason I couldn't think about touching them that night! lol :)
ReplyDeletehahahaha.... well MAYBE you should try for the plain rice krispie treat recipe that can be conveniently found ON THE BOX of rice krispies. Leave the oreos that way they don't junk up your rice krispies and cause all kinds of rice krispie craziness that appeared to happen to you. Also, a tip, I always coat my hands in butter to help control those crazy krispies!
ReplyDeleteTotally noted sweet and thoughtful Rachel! lol Next time it will be the plain treats and I'll try your butter trick. I thought, "How hard could it be to make rice crispie treats?" Well, I found out real fast that it was harder than I thought! lol
