Great Ideas here. I love Marshmallow Treats, they are good!
On the Cake Competitions on FN they use rice krispies to mold characters for the cake decorations.I have never used them for anything except the marshmallow treats, but I like the idea of using them for other purposes besides sweets!
I can imagine they make a great crispy coating for pork chops too.
