Lamington Rice Krispy Treats

Happy Easters! 
(I will never be able to say "Easter" again without a spanish accent and pluralizing it thanks to Nacho Libre... anyone else? No? Ok, moving on....)

Lamington Rice Krispy Treats
So what's the rice krispy treat of the day? Lamingtons. First off what are they? I feel like they are the Australian's answer to the petit four. Like they saw the petit four, thought it was a good idea, then realized that petit fours are the pretty much the hardest things in the world to make look attractive. So they got the bright idea to cover them up in coconut to remove the stress factor. Boom. Gold Star for the Australians. They know what's up. So today I decided to take it a step further and make a rice krispy treat version. 


Lamington Rice Krispy Treats

Can I just first confess that I didn't have really high hopes for these things? I mean I thought they'd be just a fun take on the traditional Lamington. Flavor wise, I wasn't expecting anything crazy. Um, hello! Boy was I wrong. These things blew my expectations out of the park. I still can't even figure out why they are so good. Is it the combo of a krispy/gooey marshmallow covered in thick chocolate? The combo of the rich chocolate and chewy coconut? The whole package??? I don't know, all I know is these were the bomb. Is that bragging to always be complimenting my own rice krispy treats? I feel like I give myself one too many pats on the back.  I should include a testimonial section to my recipes:


"If I could only eat one rice krispy treat for the rest of my life, these would be it." - Dad

"So, so good! I want the recipe."  - Mom

"They were coconutlicious!  - Husband (that was his response when I said I needed a quotable review of these... thanks buddy)

There we go. Validation. We'll pretend that those all weren't comments from my family members who are obligated to say nice things. But you seriously will be amazed how good these are. I was. My family was. So do yourself a favor, go make these. Today. Right now. Don't think about it. Close you computer (but first write down this recipe), go to your kitchen, and whip a batch of these. You'll be done in 20 minutes. Ready, set, go!


Lamington Rice Krispy Treats


Lamington Rice Krispy Treats

5 Tbsp butter
6 cup marshmallows
1 tsp vanilla
3/4 cup dry white cake mix
6 cup rice krispies

1 cup chocolate chips or chocolate almond bark
1 tsp oil
3-4 cups sweetened shredded coconut 

Pour the rice krispies into a large mixing bowl and set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, turn the heat down to low 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) then stir in the vanilla and cake mix. Once fully melted, take them off heat and pour over the rice krispies. Stir lightly to combine. Dump the mixture into a greased 9x9 pan and set in fridge to cool for about 20 minutes (they are easier to cut into perfect squares when really cold). 

Meanwhile, melt your chocolate and oil in the microwave in 20 second intervals, stirring in between each until fully melted. Also pour your coconut into a separate bowl.

Now, take your chilled rice krispy treats and cut into perfect squares ;) Dip each square into the melted chocolate, completely coating all sides, then roll around it in your shredded coconut. Set aside to harden. Repeat with all squares. Enjoy!

  11. Консоли от корпорации Microsoft не сразу завоевали всемирную популярность и доверие игроков. 1-ая консоль под названием Xbox, вышедшая в далеком 2001 году, существенно уступала PlayStation 2 по количеству проданных приставок. Однако все поменялось с выходом Xbox 360 - консоли седьмого поколения, которая стала по-настоящему "народной" для жителей Рф и стран СНГ - Программы для FreeBoot. Интернет-сайт Ru-Xbox.Ru является популярным ресурсом в числе поклонников приставки, поскольку он предлагает игры для Xbox 360, которые поддерживают все имеющиеся версии прошивок - совсем бесплатно! Зачем играть на оригинальном железе, если имеется эмуляторы? Для Xbox 360 игры выходили длительное время и находятся как посредственными проектами, так и хитами, многие из которых даже сейчас остаются эксклюзивными для это консоли. Некоторые гости, желающие сыграть в игры для Xbox 360, смогут задать вопрос: зачем нужны игры для прошитых Xbox 360 freeboot или различными версиями LT, в случае если имеется эмулятор? Рабочий эмулятор Xbox 360 хоть и существует, однако он просит производительного ПК, для покупки которого будет нужно вложить существенную сумму. К тому же, разнообразные артефакты в виде исчезающих текстур, отсутствия некоторых графических эффектов и освещения - смогут изрядно попортить впечатления об игре и отбить желание для ее предстоящего прохождения. Что предлагает этот портал? Наш сайт стопроцентно посвящен играм для приставки Xbox 360. У нас можно совсем бесплатно и без регистрации скачать игры на Xbox 360 через торрент для следующих версий прошивок консоли: - FreeBoot; - LT 3.0; - LT 2.0; - LT 1.9. Каждая прошивка имеет свои особенности обхода встроенной защиты. Потому, для запуска той либо иной игры потребуется загрузить специальную ее версию, которая стопроцентно приспособлена под одну из четырех вышеперечисленных прошивок. На нашем сайте вы можете без усилий найти желаемый проект под подходящую прошивку, поскольку возле каждой игры находится название версии (FreeBoot, LT 3.0/2.0/1.9), под которую она адаптирована. Пользователям данного ресурса доступна особая категория игр для 360-го, предназначенных для Kinect - специального дополнения, которое считывает все движения 1-го либо нескольких игроков, и позволяет управлять с их помощью компьютерными персонажами. Большой выбор ПО Кроме способности загрузить игры на Xbox 360 Freeboot либо LT разных версий, тут вы можете получить программное обеспечение для консоли от Майкрософт: - современные версии Dashboard, которые позволяют кастомизировать интерфейс консоли под свои нужды, сделав его более удобным и нынешним; - браузеры; - просмотрщики файлов; - сохранения для игр; - темы для консоли; - программы, для конвертации образов и записи их на диск. Помимо вышеперечисленного игры на Xbox 360 Freeboot можно запускать не с дисковых, а с USB и прочих носителей, используя программу x360key, которую вы можете достать на нашем веб-сайте. Гостям доступно огромное количество нужных статей, а помимо этого форум, где можно пообщаться с единомышленниками либо попросить совета у более опытнейших владельцев консоли.
