Cottontail Confetti Krispies

Inspired by SprinklePop's Cottontail Confetti Sprinkle Mix, a blend of pearlized grass green sprinkles and pastel Easter egg confetti, I decided to make our favorite easy dessert: rice krispies treats. I also added a few drops of the natural food coloring from Adams Extract and Spice. You can read more about them in my Spring Bling Meyer Lemon Almond Cake post.

Ingredients

  • 6 T butter + more for greasing pan
  • 6 C marshmallows
  • 6 C rice krispies (I use an organic puffed brown rice cereal)
  • 1 t lemon extract 
  • food coloring, optional (I used red and yellow from Adams Extract and Spice)
  • sprinkles (I used the Cottontail Confetti mix from SprinklePop)


Procedure

Butter a pan; I used a 9" round. Cover the bottom with a layer of sprinkles and set aside.


Place the butter and marshmallows in a large pot and heat until melted. Add in the extract and food coloring, if using. Stir until mixed.


Fold in the rice krispies and stir until well-coated. Turn the mixture into the prepared pan. And, with slightly moistened hands, press firmly down to compact the mixture.


Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes until slightly hardened. Invert onto a serving platter. Let it cool completely before slicing.


There are so many possible variations you can make with rice krispie treats. What's your favorite?

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
