Hello,
I understand that alot of figures can be made of Rice Krispie material? When you mold these figures are you using pre-made Rice Krispies or are you making them from scratch like you would regular Rick Krispies and molding while they are warm? I would like to attempt this but not sure where to even start?
Thanks for you help in advance!

Either way, if you use store bought they are ready to go, otherwise you can make your own just reduce or leave out the butter. Good Luck

Thank you...should be an interesting challenge....

If someone will eat them, add a little vanilla.

I mix it and when it cools to the touch iI start molding whatever it is I am making...hth

what is the best way to cover it so it doesn't look all bumpy from the cereal?

Use royal icing until its smooth....it helps hold the RCT as well.

I have covered it with buttercream, and ganache....

I made this torso out of RKT and, even though I put buttercrem it was still bumpy so, I put 3 coats of fondant to achieve the soft look

I am assuming you have to work fairly quickly or it won't stick anymore? Is that the case? Do you use rods to hold arms in place or does everything stick with royal icing?

I use rods to hold everything together, don't trust just frosting to hold anything together.
