Food Storage Made Easy: Recipe: Best Rice Krispie Squares

  • Hilary · 10 months ago
    As I saw this I thought "my marshmellows just don't store well" and I'm happy to see this uses karo syrup instead.
    Thanks!

    Great idea. I love food storage ideas. I have a very similar recipe with peanut butter and then melted chocolate and butterscotch chips on top. Thanks for the recipe.

    I'll be making these this weekend. My kids will LOVE me!

    If you add melted milk chocolate on top, it takes this recipe from "best" to "bestest"!!! :-)

    Good morning,

    I'd just like you to know that a non-Mormon prepper very much appreciates your website and great ideas.

    For one of the posters...Marshmallows can be stored in the freezer and pulled out and used just as normal.

    Made this today for our FHE / Sunday treats. Thanks so much. Very delicious. I added a little semi sweet chocolate and it makes it so rich. I like it fine without chocolate too.

    yay. I got this recipe from a girl in Toronto, who took piano from me. Her name was Heather Whyte. A real CANADIAN recipe. Be careful not to scorch the moist ingredients as you melt them in the pot!

    I would love to digitally scrapbook this recipe to put into my recipe box I just wish I had a photo of it as a finished product. My camera is having 'issues' so I can't get a photo of it. Are any of you making it soon and could take a good close up photo for me? If you do you can email me at soyprincesa2athotmaildotcom

    How do you store cereal like cornflakes and rice crispies
  • Debbie Rowley · 9 months ago
    Hi,
    I was wondering, how much rice krispies/ corn flakes do you store, and how much? What would be the shelf life on it? 3months, 1 year?
  • nikole · 9 months ago
    I have a very similiar recipe but you use popcorn instead of cereal. VERY food storage friendly that way!
  • Susan · 7 months ago
    I also want to know the shelf life of the cereals.

    Save On Foods recommeds no more than 12 months unopened and within 6 months once opened.

    Most of my cereals come with a best before date on the label. If there are nuts in it, I try to use them by the date since the nuts go rancid. If not then they're fine for another couple months. But they're not "long" term food storage, they fit better into 3 month storage that should be rotated regularly.

    From someone who has done it, we are still eating Corn Flakes and Rice Krispies from 2005 and they are just fine -- taste just the same to us. Also, I store my marshmallows in an airtight bucket and that "helps" but still not a long-term storage item. Love to know that I can use the corn syrup.

    Back to the cereal -- we store a year's supply of cereal (at least) as a comfort food for hubby and kids (I don't care for it that often) and we store them for several years as we rotate them (just can't pass them up when they go on sale for 98 cents or so)..... so, cereal lasts a LONG time as long as it is unopened and in a cool, dark place --
