Steve Sells Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Coal Rice Krispy Treats 3 Tbsp butter 6 cups marshmallows 1 tsp vanilla 5 cups cocoa krispies** 1 cup crushed oreos black food coloring coupon, so it was only like a buck, whoo hoo, go get some!)Pour the rice krispies and oreos in a large mixing bowl. Set aside.Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium high heat until melted. Turn the heat down to the lowest setting and add the marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are mostly all melted (this will take a few minutes--low and slow is key for perfect texture). Add in the vanilla and black food coloring (keep adding until you get the color you want) and finish melting.Once fully melted, take them off heat and pour over the rice krispies. Stir to combine until everything is black. Dump everything by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet, so they look like funky coal shapes. Allow them to cool about 20 minutes. Enjoy! ** I actually used regular rice krispies, but as you can see there were still a few flecks of white showing through mine. So because hindsight is always better than foresight I recommend using cocoa rice krispies--they'd be easier to dye black. Not that it really matters I guess, just a thought.

Jim Coke Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Greetings Steve/Santa, I have been a BAAAD boy this year .. Maybe I'll get some of your coal... I would like to have some on hand for when you get a new student.. Just imagine the look on their face when you grab a chunk off the forge and go about munching... Forge on and make beautiful things Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Special Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Love it, can tell my kids they're eating coke, or clinkers. (I'm a little proud they actually know the difference.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Looks more like clinkers to me than coal. But I like the clinkers! Thanks for posting the recipe! My wife once made several pounds of marzipan coal for a feast for the SCA shire of Smithkeep (Fort Smith AR, USA) that came out like some of the bituminous coal I have used. She started with raw almonds and I guess a lot of folks were spooked by it as we had a large amount of leftovers to nibble by the fire that winter.

John McPherson Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Frosty, there was a guy who used to plant Goobers and Raisinets on the deer trails where he was leading nature hikes. He would then 'sample' the deer droppings to 'see what the deer were browsing on'. I think you two are kindred spirits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastRonin Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 John, I wonder if your buddy ever got mixed up and grabbed the wrong 'raisinette'... lol. Those treats look tasty Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
781 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Liked the coal I made but forgot to add the crumbled cookies. Got a surprise the next day as the black coloring produced a bright green stool sample. Not sure if it affected others the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
