snap, crackle, WOW your friends

are you looking for a fun way to shake up the standard cupcake? how about turning the crowd pleasing rice krispie treats into a cupcake? think about it, it is the perfect and most satifying few bites and they are absolutley adorable! i am a busy girl and i love making cupcakes and my frosting from scratch but sometimes i just dont have the time or engery and that is why the rice krispie treats are so perfect! they take just minutes to make and in 15-20 minutes the marshmallow has set and you can eat and enjoy. here is the recipe: look on the side of the rice krispie box! i added colorful sprinkles into the melted marshmallow just for funsies. i added my own homemade frosting for an extra special touch but store bought is totally okay too, look below for my homemade buttercream recipe.

frosting: 2/3 cup of crisco vegetable shortening, 2 capfuls of vanilla, 3 capfuls of milk, and start with 1 cup of powdered sugar. add more a little at a time until the consistency is thick but creamy. you want a thicker frosting to hold the shape of a piping tip, but add more milk to get a thinner consistency if so desired. (this recipe will perfectly frost 12 cupcakes) until next time eat laugh love and enjoy!
