New CRC Blog- Not your typical Rice Krispie Treat

By Julie Cader

Julie is Finance & Administration Manager for the California Rice Commission, and a big proponent of trying new recipes- especially if they feature California rice.

While attending a Metro Chamber Business Mixer at Sacramento's Mulvaney's Building & Loan, we were treated to a wonderful tasting of delightful, handcrafted American cuisine.

I was excited to try their version of a Rice Krispie Treat and they (okay, I had more than one) were delicious! Did you know that Rice Krispie Treats were invented in 1928 by Mildred Day and the staff at the Kellogg Company home economics department? Mildred decided to use Rice Krispies Cereal to make a special treat for a girls camp fundraiser, and for over eighty years most of us have grown up eating some version of Mildred's original Rice Krispie Treat dessert.

Patrick Mulvaney, a native New Yorker, has been the owner of Culinary Specialists since 2001. In 2005, he opened Mulvaney's B & L, located in a charming 1893 Firehouse. Patrick was kind enough to share his recipe for White Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats. It's an easy dessert recipe--give it a try!

Ingredients:

2 oz. white chocolate
1 cup rice krispies cereal
Melted dark chocolate in a piping bag or squeeze bottle for decorating

Procedure:

Melt white chocolate gently. Stir in just enough rice krispies cereal until they are all evenly coated. Prep molds with dark chocolate drizzle.

Fill molds and chill, pop out and try not to eat too many before the guests arrive, or just make some more.

Or you can just spoon the mixture on to a pan or plate and cool until crunchy.

I recommend doubling or tripling the recipe! Yum Yum!

Mulvaney's commitment to showcasing local products has helped grow a large following. If you would like to experience a restaurant that features local, fresh, and organic ingredients, head to Mulvaney's. Look for the Pigasus – “pig on the corner” - the landmark at 1215 19th Street. Enjoy!
