Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted marshmallow
- 1 teaspoon Szechuan pepper (adjust according to your spice tolerance)
- 3-4 gumdrops, chopped
- 1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup cereal (your choice, but go for something crunchy)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workstation: Clear your countertop and gather all your ingredients. A clean workspace is a happy workspace—let’s not make a mess, alright?
- Mix the Sweetness: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted marshmallow, chopped gumdrops, and lemon juice. Stir it like you mean it! We’re looking for a gooey, sticky mixture—don’t be lazy!
- Add the Crunch: Toss in the pumpkin seeds and cereal. Yes, all of it! Fold it gently, but don’t be too gentle—this is not a soufflé! We want everything well-coated.
- Spice It Up: Now, add the Szechuan pepper. This is where the magic happens! Mix it in thoroughly. You want every bite to have that fiery kick. If you’re not feeling the heat, add more!
- Shape It Up: Grab a small baking sheet or plate and line it with parchment paper. Spoon out the mixture into small clusters. Make sure they’re not too big; we’re not making boulders here!
- Set and Serve: Pop it in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes to firm up. You need to be patient, but not too patient—keep an eye on it!
- Taste Test: Once set, take a bite of your creation. Is it perfect? If not, figure out what went wrong and fix it next time. Cooking is all about learning!
