Guess what we are making….

I LOVE doing anything crafty, artsy, bakey (I know its not a word, just go with it) with anyone willing to do it with me, and THANKFULLY I have a precious son who is willing…most of the time.  Today, we decided on rice krispie treats. Ok, actually my pantry decided on rice krispie treats because cereal and marshmallows were actually in there. Multiple times we worked on pronouncing rice…krispie….treat and we continued to get, rice…christmas…tree, so rice christmas trees it is!  We gathered together our ingredients and while the little princess slept, the prince and I began our work.

I have to get creative sometimes to keep the little guys attention, so first thing was first…..a marshmallow castle. Stacking marshmallows was much harder than it looks, but we made it work.  We even adorned it with a ‘flag’ or a dum dum which was all I could find.

Step two  was playing, throw the marshmallows into the pot, which ended in a couple of casualties.  In case you were wondering, no these did NOT get used in final product.  I think my son was a little surprised that I was telling him to throw food.  :)

While the marshmallows melted Jackson decorated some with icing.  Somehow, no matter what we are baking, he ends up using icing to decorate with.

And, after all the hard work, how did he like the treats? Well………..not so much.  In fact, I had to bribe him just to hold one.  Oh well….more for mommy!
