To kick off our Olympic celebration, I made rice crispy treat torches - both regular and mini-sized. We will be enjoying them during the opening ceremonies tonight!
To make these, you'll need a bag of marshmallows, some ice cream cones (whatever kind you'd like - I used green ones and child cones), red food coloring, and yellow & orange sugar crystals. Make rice rispie treats following the linked recipe. Add a bit of red food coloring while you are melting the marshmallows. Remember that you can always add more color, but you can't really take it out once you've put it in! Finish the recipe as directed. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes and then push it into the cone, gently twisting the top into a flame-like shape. Roll in yellow and orange sugar crystals or sprinkles and let cool. Enjoy!
Those look delicious! And I admire your tenacity. I tried once (just once) to make Rice Krispy treats and decided they were one of those items best purchased pre-made, preservatives and all. =>
