So work has been stressful lately for many of my coworkers and I felt it was time that I did something about it. I made rice crispy treats and walked around giving them to everyone. They really needed some cheering up. I was surprised to learn that they weren't very popular here and I had to explain to many what they were. I got recipe requests which made me giggle. I was told what an amazing cook I was. I laughed so hard and proceeded to tell them how difficult they are to make. I later gave in and shared the three ingredient recipe (if us Americans would even call it a recipe as I imagine most have it memorized). I knew I was in the UAE for a reason...to make one more rice crispy treat fan every day! :)
As an FYI, I can't buy pork ingredients at just any grocery store. I must shop at Spinney's where the Non-Muslim Room (Pork room as I like to call it) is located. It is a cooled room tucked in the back of the store. There are many items that you never even knew contained pork products. Pop-tarts and Marshmallows to name a few. I was aaware of this when I made the treats and because I shared them with my Muslim coworkers, I made sure the marshmallows were hilal (Pork free).
So my theory is that because most marshmallows have pork lard in them, rice crispy treats never gained the popularity that they did in the States...

It's not that they weren't popular. It was that they were unknown. Until now. Now they are popular. Like you. Being the generous soul and great cook that you are, you have shred many treats and then, following that, many recipes by request. I am blessed to live with such a great cook! But it is funny how something simple, like Rice Krispie Treats can get such an awestruck reaction.
