Warning

That opened bag of marshmallows in your cupboard ... the marshmallows that are probably from last summer, but you tell yourself no, it can't be that long ... belong in the garbage. They will not just puff up nicely when you think you'll finally use them up in some some Rice Krispy treats. They will turn into a clump of marshmallowy glue. Adding butter in hopes of transforming the gooey mass into a pliable, even suitable marshmallow base for the the snap, crack and pop will not work. Aggravating your already tender tennis elbow by stirring in just a cup or two of Rice Krispies will not be worth your while. You will not be making treats. You'll be making gluey sweet glop. I'm just saying ...
