I think rice crispy treats were the first things that my parents allowed
me to use the stove for in the fifties. My next remembrance was boiling
frozen Birdseye broccoli in the mid-sixties. Apparently, I went downhill
for several years. Brainflash! Somewhere in the middle, I became a Chef
Boyardee "pizza in a box" cook.
FWIW, I remember homemade rice crispy treats as being a bit buttery and
better than the boxed ones in the grocery store nowadays. I may revisit
them the next time I see the grandkids.
If they ain't kind of buttery, they ain't oldstyle. Perhaps, it was the
amount of butter I used to grease the pan. I just don't remember.
