Mom Fact:<\/em> you actually do have to follow the recipe and yes, it is possible to screw it up. I don’t know how, but everything up ended in the pot at once and trust, me that doesn’t work, especially when you need Mickey’s face to be an even tone and not look like he’s had an awful chemical peel. Thankfully, attempt number two was more successful.

I made the rice krisipe treat the day before our party and wrapped it tightly to keep over night. I decorated him the day of our party using Betty Crocker Cookie Icing<\/a>. I had never used it before, but the promise on the package that it sets quickly won me over.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
First, I did the lines in icing and let it set. Then I went back and filled in, similar to coloring a picture.<\/div>\n
\u00a0The cookie icing\u00a0worked perfectly. It dried quickly and did set to be relatively hard, which kept it from getting smeared all over my house and also from oozing off of Mickey. I did appreciate that it didn’t set instantly, meaning that I had time to fix mistakes. If you’re not an icing pro, it helps to have a damp washcloth or wet paper towel at hand to wipe off any errant icing.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Hang on to the picture in the pan for reference. (Or, get all eager about washing your pan, toss the picture away and then dig through the trash to find it. That’s another option, but not one that I recommend.) If you press the rice krispies in firmly enough, you could have the lines on the treat and you can just follow those with icing. If they aren’t clear, though, the picture will give you enough to go on.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The only minor issue I had was with one of Mickey’s eyes. It’s on an angle, and the icing did want to run. (See above reference to handy access to damp washcloth or paper towel.) Use a scant amount of icing there and allow the whites of his eyes to set prior to adding the black for the outline and his pupils.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I used an icing knife to spread the icing and it worked well. Give it some time to settle into the nooks and crannies of the rice krispie treat and allow some time to go over and fill in some holes.<\/div>\n
