Think you’re too old for “Rice Krispie” treats?
Allow me to chuckle for a moment at the sheer thought of
that. Being “too old”… it’s a concept I reject
flat out. I simply don’t buy it. After all, there’s a real charm in forgetting
how old you REALLY are and allowing yourself to remember what it was like
before you knew how you were “supposed” to act.
You’ve got to admit
there’s something magical about the act of eating an ooey gooey crispy chewy
Rice Krispie Treat? Isn’t there?
Exactly.
I first saw the recipe for salted browned butter crispy
treats on Smitten
Kitchen. But, it took me a very long
time before I decided to make them. Even
when I did, I decided they needed a little bit of a kick in the pants.
Those of you who know me will remember that I am
absolutely ENAMOURED of rosemary. And
during the summer months when I can get my grubby little hands on those
fragrantly fresh stalks of the real thing, I’m a happy happy girl. And, since I know the herb is good in SimpleSyrup, why not try it out in a dessert?
And so the browned butter rosemary crisped rice treats
were born.
They’re really quite grown up. But, as informal taste-tests in my neighborhood
have revealed, they also go over really well with the kids.
So, make yourself a batch of deliciously buttery crisped
rice treats. Relish the way they pull apart leaving ooey gooey strands
marshmallowy goodness in their wake. And
enjoy them utterly. After all, you’re
never too old for a little bit of snap, crackle, pop…
And while we’re at it, here’s a nice list of some other
things I hope you’re never “too old” to do:
- Lick the batter bowl after making cookies/cake/frosting
- Share butterfly kisses
- Skip down the sidewalk
- Call your mom
- Close your eyes and make a wish
- Say “When I Grow Up…” (and mean it)
As C.S. Lewis once said: “You are never too old to set
another goal or to dream a new dream.”
