The peeps enlarge quickly in the microwave....but be very careful they also explode and make a big mess to clean up!

of course I had to look 'cause you said not to! They don't look good AT ALL!!! Look way too sweet & too sticky. Do y'all make RKT in the microwave? I hate them but I make them for my family. The only good thing is it's cool watching the marshmallows fluff up so big & then, when you stir them, they turn to liquid. From a purely "scientific" point of view, cool!! (BTW, I bought some pre-packaged RKT to take w/me to SAP!)

I could see where stale peeps would be better than fresh peeps.

The microwave recipe is on the box. Here's what it says ...

In microwave safe bowl heat margarine or butter and marshmellows on HIGH for three minutes, stirring after two minutes. Stir until smooth. Add rice crispie cereal, stir until well coated and spread into pan.

I bought a bag of those pink marshmellows and they have a recipe for RKT so I may give them a try. I wonder how many points in a RKT?!!!

Well melt me down and call me a treat, I had no idea. I've not made them in years because of the blasted cleanup. This sounds a smidge better.

It is a lot easier to clean up this way. I have an inexpensive large plastic bowl that came in a set from Family Dollar a few years ago. It fits perfectly into the microwave and has room to stir in the rice crispies. It washes up pretty easily too. I can see those dinosaur and octi shaped RKT's you'll be creating now! :)

I would NEVER make them if it wasn't for the microwave. I HAD to make them at work, picture a GIANT pan of them & we didn't have a microwave big enough for it. ICK!!! I HATED making RKT at work!!!

ROTFL! :biglaugh: One of the Docs who used to work with Jacob when he was little LOVED stale peeps! We used to buy tons of them at Easter, then bribe him with them later in the year. I thought he was the only one who liked them that way.
