Rice Krispie Bundt - Day #21 of Food Librarian's I Like Big Bundts 3

Rice Krispie Bundt

I Like Big Bundts - Day #21

Happy Sunday! I'm still in denial that it's really November. Like, Thanksgiving in a few weeks? Shut up!

Actually, the only date I see is November 15th - National Bundt Day! Hee hee. We're on Day #21 of I Like Big Bundts - bringing you 30 bundts in 30 days leading up to National Bundt Day!

So, this is my third (and probably final) year doing this...and I've made about 100 bundts on this blog. I'm always looking at foods thinking, "Can I Bundt that?" :) Today, the Rice Krispie Bundt answers that!

I made the traditional Rice Krispie recipe and smashed it into a small 6-cup Bundt. If you do this in a regular, traditional 12-cup Bundt, you should double the recipe or know that it won't be as tall. Also, I really smashed it down as you can see in the cross-section photo.

I topped the bundt with some chocolate covered sunflower seeds from Trader Joe's. Love these! The colors are different than the usual primary colors...nice!

Hope these Bundts inspire you to make a bundt on November 15th for your friends, family or co-workers.

 

Bake a bundt for National Bundt Day on November 15th! Then submit a photo or blog post by November 24, 2011 and I'll send you a 1 1/4" button for baking along with me! The submission info can be found here!

This bundt was well received at the library. Who doesn't love rice krispie treats?

Have a great Sunday! We'll see you tomorrow for another bundt!! - mary the food librarian

Chocolate Rice Krispies or Crispy Chocolate-Marshmallow Treats - Everyday Food

Chocolate Rice Krispies with Bittersweet Chocolate Drizzle

Happy Tuesday! I'm in complete denial that Christmas is coming soon. Complete denial. I turned on the TV and saw "It's a Wonderful Life" playing...and wondered why they were showing that! I think Los Angeles' recent heat wave (it was 80+ degrees) didn't help any. But today it will be freezing ;) with temperatures below 70 degrees! Bundle up Los Angeles! So, the little Santa hat on these treats is the start of my holiday spirit.

The official name is Crispy Chocolate-Marshmallow Treats thereby avoiding all mention of name brands. But everyone knows it's Chocolate Rice Krispies made with Valrhona Dutch Cocoa and Trader Joe's Bittersweet Chocolate.

My oven is still out of commission. Ugh. Sorry for the lack of Tuesdays with Dorie today, but here is another no-bake treat. (Dude, remember yesterday's Christmas Jello? It was mentioned on the LA Times Food section blog, The Daily Dish! So cool!!)

Add cocoa powder to your usual Rice Krispies treat and top with a bit bittersweet chocolate. What can be easier? In the holiday season, you can even toss a few Christmas sprinkles on top!

I put them in individual cupcake holders (I buy them in 500 count packages at the restaurant supply store) to make them easier to grab at the library.

Have a great day! - mary the food librarian

Recipe:
Crispy Chocolate-Marshmallow Treats - Everyday Food 

• I used a restaurant 1/4 sheet pan
• Be sure to let the chocolate drizzle set before trying to wrap it in plastic...just sayin'
• I cut mine smaller and got 48 little squares
