Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

Rice Krispie Treats, you either don't like them or you love them.

Well, in this case you're going to LOVE them.

Firstly, they are super easy to make, secondly did I say you're going ot LOVE them :)

You, get the gooey, stickyness from the marshmallow, crunchiness from the Rice Krispies

And then in my opinion comes the best,

The salted caramel topping :)

Salted Caramel Rice Krispie Treats

• 3 TBSP butter
• 1 10-oz package regular sized marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows OR you can use marshmallow fluff a 7.5 oz size 
• 6 cups Rice Krispie Cereal
• 1 package Kraft Caramel Bits
• 2 TBSP milk
• About 2 tsp coarse sea salt

Melt the butter, in the microwave.

Today, I used the marshmallow fluff

 ( but if your using regular marshmallows, you will need to melt them)

Mix the melted butter and marshmallow together 

Add the Rice Krispies and stir well. I spray my spoon with non-stick spray. Our if you like to use your hands, you can spray them too, that way you don't get the mix stuck all over  your hands. Well, that part I don't mind - I get to lick it off! Albeit make sure you wash your hands before handling the treats again!

Press the krispie mixture into a sprayed pan. I used non-stick spray again.

Place the caramel bits & milk into a dish and pop in the microwave and melt for about 1 & 1/2 min.

Stir and if they haven't quite melted pop them back in and do 15 sec increments until ther are melted.

STIR well and then pour over the top of the Rice krispies. 

Next sprinkle the sea salt over the caramel.

Pop in the fridge to set. 

Take then out and cut into squares. 

ENJOY!

Playdough Day.

Seren love's to play with her dough.

 As well as making snakes, she also tries to sneak eating the playdough!! Yuk, lol

Although; it's not going to harm her.. Its homemade playdough with flour, salt , cream of tartar and essential oil. Easy!

Although she tends to forget that it tastes really, really salty.. So when she eats some, she pulls quite the sour face lol...and spits the playdough out..

                                              Recipe for Playdough.

1 cup of Flour

1 cup of Salt (I used sea salt)

2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar (Found in the spice Aisle)

1 Tablespoon Oil (I used Coconut Oil)

Essential Oils, Optional – (I used 7 drops of Peppermint)

Mix first 4 ingredients in a pan. Add water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 – 5 minutes. Dough will Become difficult to stir and form a “clump”. Remove from stove and knead for 5 minutes, I used a little extra flour to help the kneading process.

Play dough will keep for a long time stored in a covered plastic container. We have been using ours for 5 weeks now & its still as good, as when we first made it, even smells lovely.

Also if it gets on to your carpet...don't worry let it dry & it will come off easy. I should know lol

(I chose not to use any food coloring, I prefer natural, but if you want to have colors, then try this blog site HERE - its colors are from spices & foods! Cool ideas - I will have to try it.)

My big little tinker :-)
