Kid-friendly Kitchen Tips:
Children of all ages should have an adult assistant with them at all times when cooking.
1. Chefs, 7 and older, will try their hand at mixing the melted marshmallows and Kellogg's Rice Krispies cereal together.
2. Younger chefs will have fun "patting" their treats into the muffin cups.
3. Everyone will enjoy frosting and decorating the cupcakes.
The first time I ever ate a Krispie square, I was 10 years old. My auntie made them cutting the pan of treat into squares or butter up her hands and roll them into balls. Mmmmm,that buttery taste as well as the chewy marsh mellows and Rice Krispies. Rice Krispies was a favorite cereal on Saturday mornings with honey or sugar and milk. As soon as we poured the milk onto the cereal it was a contest to see who's popped the most and the loudest.
