Rice Krispies Turkey

For Thanksgiving I present to you a Rice Krispies Turkey.  

 

I love a 3-D cake pan so when I saw this turkey shaped one I had to add it to my (evergrowing) Nordic Ware collection.  My favorite use for these type of cake pans is to make molded rice cereal treats like the ones I've done for Easter, here and here.  Note to self for the next time I make it: prepare 2x the treats recipe in order to fill both cavities of the mold.  Unfortunately I only had enough ingredients for one recipe so my turkey is only half formed.  Oh well...still tastes great!

Happy Thanksgiving!

3D Bunny and Basket Rice Krispies Treat

 

 

Since 2020 I've been making a 3D Rice Krispies treat bunny centerpiece for my Easter table.  It always elicits ooohhhhs and aaaahhhs when people see it, but in actuality it couldn't be simpler to make.  My "secret" is to use Nordicware's bunny cake pans.   I've collected two (so far!) and usually nab them at Williams-Sonoma in their post-Easter sale.  

The pan I used for this year's centerpiece was a bunny holding a basket.  To make the basket part really stand out I relied on Cocoa Krispies.  I absolutely love how the chocolate basket is such a nice contrast to the spring-colored bunny.   All the bunny needed was a final accessory of a ribbon necklace and it was ready to grace the table.
