Making Rice Krispie treats seems simple until yours turn out rock hard or fall apart completely. Here's what actually works: Use fresh marshmallows - stale ones create a disaster Melt butter first, then add marshmallows on medium-low heat Stir constantly until just melted, don't overcook or they'll get tough Remove from heat immediately and mix in cereal quickly Press into buttered pan with buttered hands or wax paper - never press too hard The trick is working fast once you add the cereal. Take them out of the pan while slightly warm for clean cuts. I learned this after ruining so many batches trying to rush the melting process. Now mine actually taste like the ones from childhood instead of concrete blocks. #ricekrispietreats #holidaydessertseries #cookingfails #Food #Cooking
