I saw a picture of these in a magazine when Our Princess was in first grade (which just so happens to be a really long time ago...) and thought they would be fun to try. She still gets excited about making them, probably just for my sake, and we do it every year.
I was so excited (and astonished!) that we were able to make them together this week! She has been pretty non-existent around these parts the last little while with school activities, and it was fun to get to have that time together.
We use the basic rice krispie treat recipe:
3 tablespoons butter
40 large marshmallows or 4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies
In the microwave, melt the butter and marshmallows for 2 minutes, stirring after 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Add Rice Krispies, stirring until well coated.
Here's where it changes up:
Let it cool slightly, we wait about 7-10 minutes. Rub butter all over your hands and pull out a gob of mixture. Form it into a drumstick shape, round and fat at one end and small and skinny at the other. Place on waxed paper to set. It should make about 12 or so, depending on the size you choose to do.
After they set up for a while, spread peanut butter all over the fat half. I have always used a knife. Our Princess discovered that a spoon works really well for spreading around all the curves, though.
Roll it in Chocolate Krispies...
Done.
Enjoy!
I remember these from first grade!
