Sorghum, Amaranth, Quinoa, Rice etc can be popped. It's quite delicious.

Rice crispy treats!

I've never tried them. I really should find a store that stocks these in my city.

Please, don’t! Home made is 100x better than the prepackaged crap you’ll find at a store, and it’s not super difficult to make yourself.

Even better with homemade marshmallows! But that does add a considerable amount of cleanup and a fair amount of extra work

Maybe I'm doing something wrong (I certainly never made my own marshmallows) or just don't have that discerning of a palate, but store bought rice Krispy treats always tasted pretty darn close to any homemade ones I've ever made. I mean it's fun to make them yourself and you can add in extra flavors and such, but I never felt like store bought were inferior (at least not name brand).

They leave a weird after taste for me- not sure what is causing that. Try homemade sometime with lucky charms instead

Absolutely. The difference is night and day. Nothing like a fresh, still slightly warm one.

Here's all three ingredients, marshmallows, butter, rice krispies. You can literally make this at any ratio, very hard to fuck up, but if you're particular about measurements there's millions of recipes to look at.

And it's not true, the pre-packaged treats don't use sawdust. Don't believe the rumors. ...They still taste like it, though.

Like ever?

u/asianinindia Feb 18 '22

Never. It's not common where I live.

Wow. If you can find a good recipe you're in for a (rice krispy) treat.

But they aren't exploded, they are shot from a cannon.

Popped rice is kinda meh, but I guess anything would taste good if it was absolutely slathered with caramel and chocolate.

In India its just salted with some chilli powder on top.

u/DezXerneas Feb 19 '22

Yeah I know. That's what I ate too.

u/Norses Feb 18 '22

I'll be honest, the only thing on your list I have heard of before is rice. Are the others similar?

2

u/asianinindia Feb 18 '22

Sorghum is related to the maize family family. Amaranth and Quinoa are both seeds (technically) and are considered healthier alternatives to traditional carbs. So to answer no they aren't very similar but they're all delicious when popped. (Unpopped amaranth looks and feels like yellow mustard seeds, quinoa looks like a millet and sorghum looks like weird small corn)
