Rice Crispy Treat Frosting

Yes. You read that title correctly.

I made your favorite childhood snack into frosting. Now, you not only get a rice krispies (rice crispy? rice krispy? rice crispies?) treat, you also get cake, all in one amazing dessert!

You guys, this stuff is outrageous. It’s like a fluffy cloud of all your childhood dreams atop a cupcake.

I was feeling super proud of myself for creating such an original recipe when I realized that, hey, actually Oreo just came out with some marshmallow crispy cookies and the filling tastes a lot like this frosting! I’m either more or less awesome than I previously thought. I can’t decide.

Anyway, this frosting is suh-weet. Be sure you add the salt to the recipe, because I find that salt can really help balance out an overly sweet frosting. Obviously, you can add too much salt and that’s no good, but I tend to add a little, taste, and add a little more as needed. Just be careful not to go overboard or you’ll have salty frosting and your life will no longer be worth living.

Hide yo’ kids and hide yo’ wife, because I’m eating all the cupcakes up in here. <— Truth. I have the sugar coma to prove it.

One note: This stuff is amazing, but like any cereal, it gets soggy after awhile. Make this frosting and serve it immediately after. If you must make the frosting in advance, leave out the cereal, store in the fridge, bring to room temperature when you’re ready to use it, and then stir in the cereal and spread on your cupcakes.
