Baking By Buttercream_warrior Updated 4 Jan 2011 , 3:59am by Buttercream_warrior

im making a skateboard cake and decided to use rice krispie treats for the wheels..i made a batch and let it cool and when i started to work on it it just fell apart and is a big goey mess ??is there anyway i can fix this or should i just go to town and buy a box of krispie treats alreaDy made??help!!

I mold mine when they're hot.
Sometimes I hold them (in a pot) over a container of hot water so they stay warm & moldable.
Then mine have to set up for several hours to really get where they need to be.
But I'm always amazed when I see them on tv using what seems like room temperature rkt--Or at least they are pre-made pre-packaged--I don't know how to do that.

If you add some melted white chocolate while you are mixing them, this helps them to firm up nicely.
I agree, mold them while they are still warm, let cool and they should work for you.
Good Luck!
At this point, couldn't you cut them out with a biscuit cutter?
I wonder if they would soften if you warmed a few seconds in the microwave?

they arent hard..theyre really gooey! they are like falling apart..i tryed molding them but it just falls apart

how about you try adding a little more cereal? (if you have some) it should compensate for the gooey-ness

do you coat them with chocolate after you mold them?

well i tried to mold them the best i could and stuck it in the freezer and now im going to coat it so hopefully this helps..thanks everyone!


had the same problem when I made the RKT. Leave out the butter and use more cereal, it should help. And then give them a day to "dry".
Now I always use the premade ones, easier to work with and give them a day to dry after I've shaped them. Good luck!
definatly going to try the premade ones next time..this was a nightmare..lol
