Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 I'll have to try it with the Fluff. Great idea. Do you still heat it up with the butter, mix well and then stir in your rice krippy cereal and what ever else you want to put in it? We use the fluff stuff for making chocolote nut fudge.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Yes, but you don't have to heat it as long as melting marshmallows, just a couple of minutes. (mine doesn't always make it to a pan to cool, I usually eat it warm with a spoon!) We always used fluff for fudge, too. Mmmm... now I can't wait for Christmas fudge!!! Audrey S.
