Though I don’t like Rice Krispies, I do on rare occasions take in a Rice Krispie Treat. However, since I’m also not a marshmallow fan, I’ve never actually tried to make one. I think I’ll stick with making pumpkin-shaped cakes instead. I actually do have the equpiment to decorate them, baking being a hobby of mine, but Matt did very well on his own. Some of those pumpkins came out very, very well.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that, until very recently, my mother also had a stack of those seasonal magazines laying around our house. Unfortunatly, I think she kept the recipies she wanted and ditched the rest when she cleared out her house last year.

Me and my son made these, but we dyed the marshmellow goo orange before putting the rice crispies in. then we just did chocolate chip faces. Now we’re watching the great pumpkin dealy on VHS. And it’s all cold and crispy out. I love it~
It may sound crazy, but I like how Gamestop makes its living on Pre-orders. It makes me feel special that one of those very few are mine.
I need to reserve my PS3

I am so happy right now. I unexpectedly got the day off tomorrow! No, they didn’t fire me, they just needed to cut some hours. Payroll issues — and hey, if it’s for the good of the store, I will gladly give up my 12-7 Saturday shift! Mwuhaha!
kb – that is an awesome idea! (about coloring the marshmallow goo)
We have a freeze warning for tonight. A freeze warning!

It being Friday the Thirteenth today, I was a little disappointed. Granted, my girlfriend and I both called out to work, spent 70% of the day in bed, basically, then pulled it together just to meet friends at the bar. The only “spooky” thing that happened was when, leaving her house prior to the bar, the neighbor’s kitchen light was on. Her neighbor moved out TWO YEARS AGO. The house is vacant. Eh, hardly suffices.
Rice Crispy Treat cereal was the only cereal that only got better the longer you let soak in milk.

Just wanted to say, I used X-E as an example of “Website I Love” for my html class. I know this isn’t even close to pertaining to the topic, but I’m so wasted and happy and listening to Meat Loaf I don’t even care.
Rock on, Matt– you’re a little older than I am, but God knows I share the exact same nostalgia as you.
^ yo, that site is insane, but even crazier is if you google “todd gross”, dude has like a million different sites! and not just on weather, but other shit like astronomy? who is this guy?!

They’re making the hot cocoa-flavored marshmallow cats again. I saw them at the Rag Shop.

Another delicious way to make these is to take a huge marshmallow and cover it in melted caramel. After letting the caramel harden slightly, roll it around in some pre-made krispy treatmeat. Proceed with the rest of Matt’s instructions to make a Rice Krispy Treat covered Caramel Marshmallow pumkin. It is a loong name for a baaadass treat.

How could you skip a FRIDAY THE 13th in OCTOBER?! How many times does that happen D:

They had that place on ghost Hunters once. They caught an apparition on video that formed out of thin air and walked down the hallway.

Aw that was sweet AND creepy, Colonel…
For me to poop on.
“How could a beloved webmaster possibly defend skipping the Friday the 13th countdown entry?”
HE’S A NINJA!!!

Watched “Plan 9 From Outer Space” last night. Interesting premise, aaaaaannd….. That’s about it.
Not the worst movie I ever see’d. That honor goes to “Robot Monster.”
death of most of the lifeforms on Earth, “Ro-man”tic triangle involving a monkeysuithelmet alien guy, a blonde, and Dashing Hero Type. Not to mention the inexplicable bubble machine, and the twist ending was more of a cinematic purple nurple than anything. At least “Faster Pussycat, …” is on next week.

The record store I work at is called “plan 9″. The owners favorite lame-o movie…obviously…plan 9 from outer space.
Yay for being nerds.

For some reason rice krispie treats was the one thing i could never make. It always came out looking hideous and the krispes all burnt. I guess it’s because i hate working with melted marshmellows. I love em in their solid form, but once melted they kinda attack me like ‘The Blob’.
I needed a good laugh today. Thank you for being who you are and the treats very creative.

Amazing story of creation. Even more amazing that I was searching for a Halloween treat for my son’s third grade class Halloween party. You mentioned that this treat was only suitable for second graders. I’m hoping I can still impress eight year olds with your recipe. Thanks

I think the pumpkins treats are cool. You don’t have to have a foul mouth when describing how to make them.
