Steps to Making Rice Krispies Treat with Children

Here are the Step By Step Instructions.

Took me 30 something years to figure it out, but I got it down to the science.

Step one, argue with your children on who gets to pour the cereal and the marshmallows in the pan.

Step two, take the marshmallows away from said kids who are still arguing and put them in the container and put it in the oven.

Step three, add 3 tablespoons of butter while still in the oven, while trying to protect the remanding marshmallows from the 5 year old's greedy hands.

Step four, tell your 5 year old that it will be another 30 seconds every time he asks. This will last for about 5 minutes.

Step five, pull pan out of the oven. Let the ten year old stir the marshmallows and the 5 year old pour the cereal. Tip....try really hard not to lose count of the cups. The 5 year old will forget and this will start an argument.

Step six, after all the cereal and the marshmallow is mixed by the children, tell them good job. And take over. Mix it the proper way while the kids are licking their fingers.

Final step, take wax paper and push the mixture down. Then remind the children that no one can eat it until it sets. Then remind them that you will shoot them in the face if anyone touches the treats before they are ready. Repeat if necessary.

Then turn on the WII to keep them occupied.

Just a reminder...if you sleep late you will not get any treats. Make sure to eat at least one before you go to bed.
