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 out...

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...

HEADPHONES The Best True Wireless Headphones So Far

Image
We tested 11 of the most promising true wireless in-ear headphones (as in, no wires at all connecting the earpieces like traditional Bluetooth headphones). All of them, we found, have some flaws in fit, functionality, or convenience. Because this is the first generation of the technology, manufacturers are still working out the kinks. As a result, we can’t make an overall pick that we think would work for most people. What will work for you depends on what mobile device you have and how willing you are to put up with performance glitches in order to take advantage of a cutting-edge (but still clearly work-in-progress) convenience feature. What we can tell you is which sets are the better options right now, and what they offer in terms of pros and cons. Depending on how you plan to use your headphones, we have picks for  iPhone/iOS users ,  budget-oriented folks , those who  prioritize sound  above other features,  fitness buffs , and  Samsung users . This w...
