How to Make Rice Crispy Treat Edibles
Rice crispy treats are a beloved childhood dessert that brings back memories of gooey, crispy goodness. But did you know that you can also turn these tasty treats into a delightful edible? Making rice crispy treat edibles is a fun and creative way to enjoy your favorite childhood snack with a twist. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to make rice crispy treat edibles.
Ingredients:
– 3 tablespoons of cannabutter (or regular butter)
– 1 package of marshmallows
– 6 cups of rice crispy cereal
– Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. In a large pot, melt the cannabutter over low heat. If you don’t have cannabutter, you can easily make it by infusing regular butter with cannabis beforehand.
2. Once the butter is melted, add the marshmallows to the pot. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and well combined with the butter.
3. Remove the pot from the heat and add the rice crispy cereal. Mix well until all the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.
4. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and press it down evenly with a spatula or your hands.
5. Allow the treats to cool and set for about an hour. Once they are firm, cut them into desired shapes and sizes.
