Quick Snacks

I've definitely been slacking on the baking for the past few weeks, so I decided to make it up to my coworkers. I think most of them were going through withdrawal. I wanted to do something simple, so I decided on brownies. It's been a really long time since I made them. I'm also tired of looking at the two boxes of rice krispies in my kitchen, so I made rice krispie treats just to get rid of some of them.

I have an odd love for rainbow sprinkles, so I went for the Funfetti brownies. Then I found out they're not sprinkles; they're candy-coated mini chocolate chips. That's ok, too. At least they're colorful. Since I started baking pretty regularly, it seems like we always have chocolate chips in the house, so I added some to the brownie batter. No nuts, though. I think nuts are a crime against brownies. And fudge. I don't know who came up with that, but I'd like to punch that person in the face.

I couldn't remember the exact measurements for rice krispie treats, so I did some research. 10 oz marshmallows, 6 cups rice krispies, 3 tablespoons of butter. Melt the marshmallows and butter together, stir in rice kripies, press into a greased 13x9 inch pan. During my research, I found the recommendation to stir in 2 tablespoons of milk before adding the rice krispies to make the treats gooier. Ok, I'll try anything once. Lactaid milk, of course. It turned out great, way better than usual. Since it's almost Halloween, I decided to add these nifty colored sprinkles.

I added them after I added the rice krispies and then sprinkled more on top once the treats were pressed into the pan. I still have half of the sprinkles left, so maybe I'll do this again in a few days.
