Rice Krispies Comeuppance
My summer reading is on hiatus while I plow through some magazines that have been piling up.
I thought I was on to something with my addition of dried cranberries to rice krispies treats. Cooking Light has one-upped me! I found a recipe in the May 2006 issue for rice krispies treats with dried cranberries and toasted pumpkin seeds. Hmmm. I still had leftover cereal and marshmallows from the last time, and I also happened to have raw pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries, so I tested the recipe. I put the treats out at our Friday night poker game. One was left at the end of the night and several people said it was the best rice krispies treats they'd ever eaten. The toasted pumpkin seeds added a nutty depth to the treats and the cranberries a tart sweetness that nicely countered the sugary-sweet marshmallows. Kudos, Cooking Light.
