The other day I decided to make some rice krispies because we had all the stuff for it, which does not happen very often. I got our marshmellows and started the slow process of melting them. I kept waiting and waiting and they would not melt. After about 5 min I thought something must be wrong with the marshmellows. They were soft and we had used them before to make rice krispies so I could not figure it out. One thing I could think of why they would turn out the way they did was because the marshmellows were so old. They were only from April. They never went hard so I figured it would be ok. I also had a quick idea of it being due to the humidity but I have made rice krispies before and never had this problem. I also thought it could have been the name of the marshmellows. The name of them was "campfire marshmellows." I remember that Derrick and I did use those marshmellows to make rice krispies back in april and they melted fine then. that is why I thought it was how old they were. Needless to say the rice krispies never got made and we had to settle for something else.
