I tried to make a dinosaur out of RC the other day and it just fell apart. I just could not keep it together, it kept pulling apart. I followed the recipe on the marshmallow package. Do I need to adjust it, like adding more RC or marshmallow? I just need to figure out a way to make it more stable...like the ones you buy in the packages. Does anyoe know how to do that? thanks.

You could try to NOT use the butter/margarine when you are mixing it. This has helped in several cases. Also smash them up a little bit before mixing them. This will help with a smoother outcome, and should pack together a little bit tighter. Hope this works for you? Let us know how it goes.

Here's a multi-linked thread on making & using Rice Krispy Treats for modeling:

I noticed that some marshmallow packages require more marshmallows but then the rice krispy packages require more krispies! (of course!)

I found that the recipe on the back of the rice krispy (name brand) box, along with maybe a bit less butter, works great. Also chilling the treats after molding helps alot too.
