All throughout lower and middle school I sported the title, “Queen of the Bakesale.” Whenever my class would have a sale, I’d bring in massive Rice Krispie treats the size of a large baby. They were inches thick and gooier then everyone else’s, boasting twice the amount of usual marshmallow. I always sold out first.
Now that I’m older and wiser and more mature I’ve moved away from the classic Rice Krispie treat in favor of something more elaborate, more decadent, more wild. I introduce you to the slutty Rice Krispie treat, the traditional snack’s older, sassier and more sinful cousin. Sandwiched with a layer of crushed Oreos and chocolate and laden with massive amounts of M&M’s, these babies give a whole new meaning to what Rice Krispie treats are capable of.
