It’s Friday, foodie friends! Welcome to another little blog post, around the kitchen table!
Today I’m sharing a recipe from my friend Emily over at Manassas Olive Oil Company. MOOC, located at 9406 Grant Avenue in historic Old Town Manassas has welcomed me in with several pop up shop opportunities , including last month’s Halloween themed cookie decorating and “crispy rice treat” demo.
If you missed last month’s demo, no worries. I’m having one next week, and the theme is “turkey”, as in cupcakes decorated in a turkey theme! Click here to find out more! $5 per kid, more details and to express interest on the FB page!
Now to the “flashback Friday” recipe !
Crispy Rice Treats
recipe courtesy of Manassas Olive Oil Company
3 Tbsp. MOOC Butter infused olive oil
1 Tsp. vanilla extract
1 (10 ounce) bag of marshmallows (mini or large)
6 cups crispy rice cereal
Coat a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil spray. In large pan or electric skillet, combine marshmallows and oil until melted. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Using rubber spatula, fold in cereal. Stir until coated. Pour into oiled pan. Press down evenly with spatula. Cool. Cut into squares, or use your favorite cookie cutters and sprinkles for fun holiday shapes!
You can also use any of their flavored oils to infuse a different , fresh flavor to your treats. Lemon, Blood Orange and Lime are my favorites.
Coming up next week, I’ll switch to Thanksgiving and turkey themed cupcakes!
This little turkey cupcake was infused with espresso balsamic in the buttercream! Stop by the shop from noon-2pm on Wednesday the 20th with your little ones to find out how, and to make your own! 
This little turkey cupcake is traditional buttercream and candies… but we will have vanilla and chocolate balsamic on hand for the adventurous foodie in your kid!
I hope to see you and your littles on Wednesday the 20th. Have questions about baking with olive oil? Email me or visit the Kitchen online.
Make it a sweet Friday!
