a new take on rice crispy treats


i'm DEFINITELY making these over the weekend! and i want to play around with the flavors to see if i can put more of a sesame flavor into it :) maybe even a slight hint of coconut?







Christina Tosi of Momofuku Milk Bar
Makes approx 100 bars
1½ tablespoons white sesame seeds
1½ tablespoons black sesame seeds
2½ tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon ginger juice (or ½ tablespoon powdered ginger)
4 cups mini marshmallows
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
⅛ tesapoon salt
  1. Butter a shallow pan (a 13-by-9-by-2 inch pan works well) or line it with wax paper, and set aside. Toast the black and white sesame seeds in a heavy saute pan over low heat (about 2 to 3 minutes), stirring frequently to get an even golden color on the white sesame seeds, and dump into a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a large sauce pan, melt the butter and add the ginger and marshmallows, and cook until thoroughly melted. Remove the saucepan from the burner.
  3. Add the cereal, salt and melted marshmallow mix to the mixing bowl with the sesame, and combine until everything is well coated.
  4. Spread and press mixture into the pan. When it's cool, cut into bite-size bars and enjoy.

white sesame literally has no flavor. Using toasted sesame would be much tastier I think...and more sesame flavor. These do look good - almost like a Korean cookie. :)
