I have tried searching the forums and haven't been able to come up with anything yet. My question is, when you make rice crispies for molding and covering with fondant, do you do anything different than when you just make them to eat???
Thanks for helping!
I just make them, the normal way, and then mold. Good Luck!!

Just follow the recipe on the ricekrispie box. If you think it's too marshmellowy (if such a word exists), add some more cereal, but be careful you don't add so much you can't make the form you wish and have it hold together. When you're making your shape, squeeze it good and hard, the denser it is the better it stays together. Have lots of fun, it's like playing with clay.
After you've made your figure, out of rice krispies, put a coating of RI on it, and allow it to dry for 24 hours or so, then sand the RI smooth, wipe it off with a clean towel and you're ready to all the fondant and there will be no lumps or bumps.
Since I don't expect anyone to eat them I use "emory paper", or regular fine sand paper. I do it out side so the dust isn't all over the kitchen. It's a sand, blow on it to see the progress and sand some more. When I'm happy with the surface I dust them off with a soft, dry cloth and continue to the next step. (I use styrofoam to raise the height of cakes, I cover the styrofoam with RI, let it dry for 2-3 days and then sand, then these are covered with fondant.) I'm in the process of preparing dummys, they're cut to size styrofoam, then covered in RI, when it's dry, I'll sand them.
