Do 'er as you please

My heart and soul ended up bleeding into these make 'em yourself popcorn mounds, the texture is everything Cracker Jack should've been.  Lindt dark chocolate with crunchy caramel bits, mini chocolate chips for balance, slivered almonds for that, "hey I thought it was a popcorn kernel" feeling. Without the broken tooth that inevitably happens to the weaker.  You know who you are.

So take Giada's sound advice and microwave 6 cups of mini marshmallows with 3 itty bitty tablespoons of butter.  Do it as long as it takes, you know your microwave, now I'm a timekeeper? The actual rice crispie bar recipe that I follow requires a bag of mini marshmallows microwaved with 3 T butter, for two minutes unbidden, then another minute after stirring.

Mix six cups of rice crispies in unless you're using popcorn.  Turn deceased loved ones over in their graves by adding the caramel dark chocolate broken into shattered bits, the mini chocolate chips, the slivered almonds.  We'll all croak someday.
