"Better than McDanoo's?"
If you've seen Eddie Murphy's Raw, you'll recognize the quote...and probably chuckle...and then think of a few more funny lines from the show...and chuckle some more...and then throw out random quotes from Raw all day making someone else chuckle...and the cycle begins!
If you haven't seen it, well you are probably a wholesome individual who would not lower your dignity to watch such a show...or you live under a rock or some undeveloped part of the world where you still hunt for your food. Either way, I had one of those "Better than McDanoo's" moments today.
It started with a trip to the grocery store with Riley in tow. We passed an aisle where the end cap was stocked with boxes of Rice Crispy Treats. Riley in her sweetest voice asked if we could get a box. I, in my mean mommy voice said No! I went on to explain that we had marshmallows at home and if she really wanted some we could make homemade rice crispy treats. To step up the game I even picked up a box of chocolate rice crispy treats! That will surely rival over the boxed version!
Unfortunately while I am an excellent cook, my baking skills, well they stink!

I burned the butter...and the marshmallow...and the crispys are begging for mercy!
They do taste good but because of the overcooking of the marshmallow they turned to a toffee-like texture.
Mom's Crispy Treats! Not recommended for children under two, dogs, or anyone with fillings!
I'll leave the baking to Jason from now on!
