BIRTHDAY CAKE CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• For the "cake": Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they melt completely, about 5 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the vanilla and a pinch of salt. Add the cereal and sprinkles, and stir with a rubber spatula, scraping up from the bottom, until the cereal is completely coated. Transfer the cereal to the prepared cake pan, and pat it down into an even layer. Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate.
• For the frosting: Heat the marshmallows and butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until completely melted. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in the confectioners' sugar.
• Spread the frosting over the top of the "cake" in an even layer. Decorate with sprinkles. Cut into wedges, and serve. (The frosted "cake" can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.)

CHOCOLATE RICE KRISPIE CAKES

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a heatproof bowl with the butter and golden syrup and gently melt in 10-second bursts in the microwave, or melt it over a pan of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn't touch the water. Stir until smooth, then take off the heat and stir in the rice pops, coating them gently with the chocolate until they are all completely covered.
• Divide the mixture between nine cupcake or 12 fairy cake paper cases - it's easier if you slide these into a muffin tin as it will help them hold their shape. Leave to set. If you want them to set faster, put in the fridge for 1 hr.
• Drizzle with a little melted chocolate and decorate with sweets, dried fruit or nuts while they are still wet enough to stick them on. Will keep in an airtight container for five days.

CLASSIC CRISPY RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Line a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with aluminum foil, leaving a 2-inch overhang on each of the longer sides. Spray the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla and salt.
• Working quickly, add the rice cereal to the pot and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and press into an even, compact layer. (Spray your hands with a little cooking spray to keep them from sticking when pressing the cereal mixture into the pan). Decorate with toppings if using (see Cook's Note).
• Let sit at room temperature until firm, about 30 minutes. Cut into 24 squares. Store the cereal treats at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

RICE KRISPIE CUPCAKE TREATS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare a 12 cup muffin tin , by heavily buttering bottom and sides; set aside. --- Combine butter, and mini marshmallows in a saucepan over medium heat stirring until blended and smooth. Stir in vanilla.
• 2. Remove from heat. Place the rice krispies in a large buttered bowl; quickly pour marshmallow mixture over rice krispies and stir gently with a large buttered wooden spoon or with buttered hands- being careful - of the hot marshmallow mixture.
• 3. Place the mixture evenly into the muffin cups and chill for 10 minutes. --- Frosting: I find it is easier to empty the can of frosting into a bowl and then add the powdered mixture to that. Stir well until completely blended. Place frosting in decorator bag fitted with star point or just put in a plastic bag and cut a small hole in one corner and squeeze frosting onto little cakes. Enjoy! Kids will love these... of course they will lick the frosting off first! LOL
