I started off by melting three tablespoons of butter on low heat. I stirred them until they melted completely and then added a bag of mini marshmallows along with some rainbow sprinkles to add some color. You want to keep stirring until it is completely melted before adding six cups of Rice Krispies. Then, you want to keep folding the mixture until the marshmallows look like they are stretching the Rice Krispies. After it looks like cobwebs, turn off the stove. Then get a pan and spray it with cooking spray. Slowly start pouring the mixture into the pan. You want them to cool so put them in the fridge for fifteen minutes. When you take them out of the fridge, you want to put parchment paper over a cutting board. Then, you want to flip the pan onto the board and tap it a few times. Lift the pan, and it should have come out nice and clean. You next want to cut the treats into even squares. Heat up a bowl of chocolate until it is silky smooth. After you heat up the chocolate, you want to take a knife and spread the chocolate on one side of the Rice Krispie treats. To add the finishing touch, cut a mini twizzler in half and stick the two pieces on the treat to make creepy eyes! Keep repeating until you have finished all of them. I hope you will use this recipe and enjoy it just as my family did. Happy Halloween!!!!!
Halloween is a super fun holiday especially when you make treats. But when you cannot have treats because of allergies, that is not fun. My brother has a tree nut allergy and cannot have the treats his class brings in because it risks him having an allergic reaction. So I decided to make him treats that he can have and share with his class! I was going to make him mummy Rice Krispie treats and if you have an allergy to peanuts or tree nuts this is a good recipe for you.

It is not every day that you get to go down to Washington D.C. to see your cousin become a United States Ambassador. Last week, I was really lucky to get to go down to Washington D.C. for a few days for this exact opportunity. As you may have seen on one of my previous blog posts, I went to Vietnam for a couple of weeks to visit my Cousin Rena and to taste the wonderful Vietnamese cuisine. Now, she has been appointed the United States Ambassador to Laos, which is a neighboring country to Vietnam, and from what I have heard, has the best South Asian food.
Washington D.C. is far from New York so it was a very long ride, but when we eventually got there we had a family at a Laotian restaurant so we can taste, and get a feel for the cuisine of Laos and to have a party before the ceremony that was the next day. My cousin Rena knows that I love food. She was so nice and she had someone show me all of the different Laotian foods and tell me what was in it. I made a plate with some different stuff on it. I was honestly not starving but I took a good amount of food. I got spicy eggplant salad, sticky rice, pork shoulder, and sun dried beef. I had a little bit of each dish because I was not that hungry, but all of them were satisfying. Let’s start off with the pork. I really enjoyed the pork. It was fatty, and had a nice char on it with a lot of really good flavors. Next, was the eggplant salad. It might have been my favorite one even if I did not have a lot of it. Considering I do not love eggplant, this dish caught my attention. It was very spicy but in a good way. The sticky rice was cool. Sticky rice is a glutinous rice and I kind of liked it better than regular white rice. Lastly, I tried the sun dried beef. It was almost like beef jerky because it was tough but it was better because it had a tang to it. The next day we went to go see her get sworn in at The United States Department of State. It was super cool because inside there were a lot of historic papers. We even got to see the real Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln! Her speech was very nice although it was a little weird looking up at the stage thinking this is my cousin and not someone I do not know. Overall the whole experience was great and the meal was very good. I cannot wait to go to Laos to see my Cousin Rena again and try more amazing food there! |
