How to Make Compost Crispy Rice Treats

Compost Cookie Rice Treats

Inspired by the Compost Cookie at New York City's Momofuku Milk Bar, this crispy rice treat calls for a little bit of everything: Oreo cookies, pretzels and crushed potato chips.

Follow this step-by-step guide to make the marshamallow snack. For the ingredients list, go to the Compost Crispy Rice Treats recipe.

The "compost" cookie at the Momofuku Milk Bar in NYC inspired these crispy rice treats. They have everything but the kitchen sink in them: pretzels, Oreos, milk chocolate and potato chips. They are all added to the rice cereal and tossed with buttery marshmallows, and it's seriously tasty. You can add any of your favorite snack foods to the recipe, just chop them up, so you can press the treats into a heart shaped cookie cutter. They are perfect to make with kids, but really, adults love them just as much.

Yield:
About 12 cookies
Level:
Easy


Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • One 10-ounce bag marshmallows
  • Pinch salt (make it a large pinch)
  • 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped pretzels
  • 1/2 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreos
  • 1/4 cup crushed potato chips
  • 5 cups rice cereal

Directions

To make the treats: Line a cookie sheet with greased parchment (or wax paper). 
Melt the butter over low heat, add the vanilla, marshmallows and salt. Stir until completely melted and smooth. 
Dump in the chocolate, pretzels, chocolate sandwich cookies and chips (or whatever goodies you've chosen). 
Add the rice cereal and stir together. 
For a Valentine's treat, grease a heart shaped cookie cutter with grease and quickly press the rice mixture into it. Work quickly so the mixture doesn't stiffen up too much. 
You want to work on greased parchment paper or wax paper so the treats won't stick. 
Wrap them immediately after shaping or they will get too hard.

Hater's Free-Agency Guide: Why Your Team Ain't Getting Its Top Free-Agent Target

Image
Harry How/Getty Images Who ordered the  NBA  free-agency reality check, with extra salt? Countless hours are spent trying to figure out how every team can win the offseason extravaganza. Even the most responsible fans talk themselves into their favorite squads keeping important flight risks, re-signing players they cannot afford to lose and poaching big names from rivals. Arguments to the contrary don't matter this time of year. Rational minds don't need to prevail. Everyone is an idealist and hopeless romantic. Screw that. This free-agency primer is drowning in cold, hard, dream-breaking truths. We want to know why the best-laid approaches are flawed and destined to fail. This isn't to say they will flop. But preparing for the worst—which is often the most likely scenario—is a crucial part of sports fandom. Top targets were not determined by how unlikely they are to sign with your team. They were selected via the rumor mill and current roster makeup, with  salary-cap outlo

Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars are making a powerful declaration: “I stand with immigrants.” America Ferrera,  Uzo Aduba , George Takei and more have participated in a moving  new PSA  to celebrate immigrants in honor of Immigrant Heritage Month. The stars, including Jason Sudeikis and  Broad City ‘s  Ilana Glazer , together recited “I stand, Because I am…” written by poet and actor Lemon Andersen. “We all stand here together with our hands open,” Ferrera, 33, began. Aduba continued her words: “Stretched out under this beautiful, boundless, American sky. We stand here and celebrate the glories of our nation.” Takei, 80, Ferrera and Aduba, 36, continued the poetic address, noting that immigrants came to America with their hands outstretched, “waiting for a hammer and nail; a shovel and rake; a basket and fruit; a dish to wash; a class to teach; a child to raise; a business to build and a cure for the sick.” The stars vowed to continue to carve a path for immigrants and “make the road

The Originals recap: 'Phantomesque'

Image
Faith, love, and hope have rescued the Mikaelson clan from a multitude challenges over the last thousand years. There’s faith that Freya can whip up a spell to fix even the most harrowing of situations. There’s a deep, abiding love for family above all else. And there’s Hope. As in the small witch living in the creepy New Orleans compound with a bunch of Originals. When we last left Elijah, he was stuck inside a pendant, suffering in the depths of his own subconsciousness. Brutal, right? On the outside, he’s decaying in a posh coffin. So, he’s mostly dead. But that doesn’t matter in vampire world. How do I know this? Because vampires start dropping right and left at a dance party in the French Riviera. I would feel bad for them if I wasn’t so excited that we get to see Kol and Rebekah again! The sibling duo immediately recognize this trend and bolt for New Orleans. An Original has died and heads are going to roll. Or Hollows. Perhaps both? While Kol and Rebekah make their way to the co
