As many of you might know, rice krispie treats (more commomly referred to as RKT) are an essential edible material for most cake decorators. When a cake structure needs a lighter and more malable element than cake, rice krispie treats are perfect for their lightness, cheapness, and easiness to model. They also make delicious snacks just by themselves! This recipe and method is for one portion of RKT, as used in Jacqui’s Rainbow Dragon in our February 2018 issue.
