Baking does not always go as planned. You have great, cute ideas in your head and when you try to execute them, you fail. I wanted to make candy melt-coated rice krispie treats in the shape of bunnies and eggs. The eggs turned out okay, but the bunnies were a creepy disaster. I tried to add some Peeps to the mix to at least make them photograph better, but no. The point I’m trying to make with this post is this: don’t be afraid to fail when you cook or bake. It’s part of the learning process and part of the fun (the creepy bunnies make me laugh, really). And even people that bake A LOT make mistakes and screw up!
They don’t actually look THAT bad – but what happened? The more important question is – how did they taste? I’ve never had a coated Rice Krispie treat, but it sounds kinda good.
The pink color is a little blah. The candy coating went on too heavily, so they just look weird.
I actually didn’t taste one yet — but Mike said “they’re okay”… hmmm!
