are you making them or buying them already made?
I make mine when using them...I add a little more marshmellow to help hold the form...and butter my hands and use it to mold...
hope that helps! 
I've found that instead of buttering my hands, wetting them slightly helps to keep them from sticking to my hands when I'm molding them. I tried the butter and they were still sticking and so I washed my hands and noticed that it didn't stick when they were wet.
I've done krispy treat molding twice. Lesson learned, do not compress too much, yet instead, try whittling away. If you compress it too much, it become dense and heavy. You'll notice on my penguin cake, it was heavy enough to make the cake bulge. Should have doweled it underneath but didn't. The 2nd attempt, my cars cake, I whittled away, big difference! Very light.
I like to use the prepackaged krispy treats.
Have fun!
Hmm. never thougth to buy them ready made. Do you just carve them out or mold them? I always make mine and mold them with buttered hands. Good luck it is lots of fun, I think.
I just tried molding rice krispie treats (homemade) for the first time. It's much easier than I expected to get them to the right shape, but here's my problem:
How do you get them covered smoothly?? I tried a bit of buttercream and then covered the chair in fondant, but the rice krispies still "Bumped" through. Any tricks for this??
I found that spraying my hands with Pam worked GREAT! Not one Rice Krispie stuck to my hand.
Thank-you in advance!
I dipped mine in candy melts because the icing came out so bumpy. It was a cake for a child, so they loved it anyhoo. I agree with staking it. We fully intended to, made some toothpick stakes for each car (roller coaster) and then forgot. They slid off the cake! I can't wait to try Duff's sleeping Tequila bottle cake with the rice crispies.
For my input: They now sell GIANT bricks of rice crispy treat at my local cake supply for $4. I usually use the generic "rice cereal treats" since they are cheaper. Costco sells a box of 40.
CakesbyMonica~ Did the molded items cover smoothly when you dipped them in candymelts? It would seem like it would still coat the bumps, but just make them a little softer?? (That's just my thought... however I've never tried it!)
Did you have to coat it multiple times??
I wonder if crushing them would take care of this entirely, like some of you mentioned??
Anyone out there an "Expert" at rice krispie molding??? 
Thanks! Lindsay
This might be totally crazy...but after reading what wgoat5 wrote...I wondered...hmmmmmmmm
If you let the rice krispie dry out a little.... could you file it smooth? I know that there are metal files at hardware stores. If it was brand new and you only used it for food...wouldn't that be okay? I guess the treats would have to be pretty dry. I'm thinking that it might work...but then again...I haven't had a krispy treat forever...so I can't quite remember the dryness level of the finished product. 
Anyway...that's what I thought might be worth a try! Maybe I will try it and let you know how it goes.
no, the bumps weren't nearly as obvious, but the candy didn't smooth as I wanted it. When I decorated the cars with people, it wasn't as obvious, so I let it go. If it had been a real order, I think I would have taken more time.
Duff makes it look so easy when he does.
I've heard that if you mold the Rice Crispies and then cover in Royal Icing to patch the dips and then cover with fondant then that works... I wonder though if after the royal icing dried thoroughly if there were still any bumps then you could 'file' away at that stuff...
Just an Idea...
