Rice crunchy treats

Rachel asked me to help her make rice crispy treats for a St. Patrick's day art club fund raiser. I've done that many times, so I had her stir the  butter and marshmellows until they were melted and I wandered off. Or, as Rachel insists,I said I'll be right back. So she calls me back and they are a lovely light caramel color. I figure that will just and a little extra flavor and we add the green food color and crispys. It seemed to mix well and we called them good.

That night I get home and there is a nearly full pan of treats. Rachel breaks off a piece and I tried it. Pretty good really, there is a hint of caramel like I thought there might be. The texture however... closer to peanut brittle than caramel corn.

I guess you CAN screw them up.
