Valentines Rice Krispie Treats

My kiddos love Rice Krispie Treats, who doesn't?  We love making them to match the holiday we are celebrating.  You can use cookie cutters to cut them into any shape, but my favorite way to make them is in small balls and use food coloring or sprinkles to add a festive touch.

My husband and I laugh because so many people request for me to make Rice Krispie Treats and to us they seem like just a basic treat, nothing special.  Many people compliment them and I share the secret is to make them in smaller batches, they come out moist every time.  When I make a large batch from the recipe on the back of the Kellogg's Rice Krispie Box, I don't know why but sometimes they come out great, sometimes they come out dry.  One other thing I watch for is make sure your mini marshmallows are fresh and fluffy.  I've noticed when I use mini marshmallows that have been in my cupboard for a while, that makes a difference too.  

What you need:
Kellogg's Rice Krispie Cereal 
Mini Marshmallows
Butter (I use salted sweet cream butter) 
Wilton Color Right Food Coloring System

For Valentine's, I made a regular batch with no food coloring, a pink batch, a purple batch, and a red batch.  

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons of Butter
3 Cups of Mini Marshmallows
3 Cups of Kellogg's Rice Krispie Cereal

Melt the butter and marshmallows, add the food coloring, then add the Rice Krispie Cereal and mix well.

Food Coloring Instructions:
No food coloring for the white.
For the red color, I used: 8 Drops of Crimson, 1 Drop of Red, 1 Drop of Brown

For the pink, I used 6 Drops of Pink

For the purple, I used 1 drop of red, pink, and blue.  

One thing to keep in mind with the food coloring part, it will look extremely bright, once you add in the cereal it dulls the color some, so you can experiment with how bright you'd like.  

I used a mini ice cream scoop to form each ball. Once you finish each batch, I let the batch cool by starting another batch, then I go and form the balls and place them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet until I'm finished with all the batches.  I then transfer them to a storage container.  

You do not want to let the batch dry out to much so they will still be pliable to form into a ball.  I spray my mini ice cream scoop and my hands with non-stick cooking spray while I roll the balls to keep them from sticking to my hands.

How to Get a Boarding Pass for the NEW Disneyland Rise of the Resistance Ride at Galaxy's Edge

My sister and I recently took a sister trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland!  We had a fantastic time, kid free!  

We had no idea before we planned our trip that the NEW Star Wars Rise of the Resistance Ride would be open during our visit.  What a great surprise to learn opening weekend was the weekend before our visit.  

With the excitement around the NEW ride and Star Wars Land, we were not sure we would be able to actually experience the attraction.  Our trip was right after opening weekend, I was concerned the parks would be packed from every social media post I had seen.  On the Wednesday we visited, the parks were not packed at all.  I am shocked and very happy to report we obtained one of the hard to get digital boarding passes, to top it off we landed in Boarding Group 4.  

I made two YouTube videos, one that shares the process of us getting our Digital Boarding Pass, it includes the step by step phone screen recording.  I will share that at the bottom of this post.  I also made a complete step by step video which includes the entire ride so if you are okay with spoilers that will be at the very end of this post as well. 

You see even if you do obtain a Boarding Pass you are not guaranteed to ride.  It all depends on the crowds and how many boarding groups they get through.  Many people were unable to ride because the ride broke down throughout the day.  Some people ended up with backup boarding groups who only if they get through the first boarding groups will receive a window of time to ride.  

In Boarding Group four we were able to get in line for the ride at 9:23 AM, on the day we visited, the park officially opened at 9 AM.  We went through the gates at 8:11 AM, we first stopped at the Disneyland Starbucks to get coffee and walked over to a rope drop area near Tomorrow Land and the Walt and Mickey Mouse Statue.  The Starbucks line went very quickly, I was prepared to get out of line if 9 AM approached, although you can join the digital virtual queue from anywhere in the park.  I wanted to be in the middle of the excitement and experience the cheers near the Castle. I also wanted to be near a machine to try the manual option for a boarding pass in case the digital option did not work.  There are machines near the Buzz Light Year Astro Blasters Ride and near Splash Mountain similar to the Fast Pass machines.  

It was fun to chat with people in the Disneyland Starbucks line about the new ride, others just like us were excited and hoping to ride for the first time.  Two ladies in front of us had already experienced the ride the day before and were happily sharing what worked for them.        

The excitement about the new Rise of the Resistance was in the air, it was a feeling I cannot put into words.  Right at 9 AM on the dot we went through the digital process to obtain a virtual Boarding Pass.  We stopped and took a picture near the castle, proceeded to walk through the castle on our way to Galaxy's Edge.  

We did not even yet know our time frame to ride, as we were walking towards Star War's Galaxy's Edge at 9:10 AM is when the Disney App notified us we could ride before 10:09 AM.  

We entered the stunning Galaxy's Edge, taking in all the details, it is breathtaking.  We took a few pictures and stopped to check out those souvenir style coke bottles (thermal detonator's) as we were making our way to the new Rise of the Resistance attraction.  Also good to know there was a TSA Ban on these thermal detonators, a Disney cast member told us the ban was lifted.  I was able to travel home with them in my carry on, empty of course.  

Upon arriving at the ride the sign outside said Now Boarding Groups 1-11.  We got in line at at 9:23 AM.  The line queue is an experience all in itself.  You go through different rooms, different areas, the cast members do a fantastic job of being in character.  We were boarding on the actual ride portion at 9:55 AM and finished at 10 AM, the actual video I took of being on the ride was 4 minutes and 50 seconds.  Our entire experience was 37 minutes long and every portion was AMAZING.  Do not think you are in line doing nothing, there are so many details all around you, each space, room, cell is part of the entire experience.  

This ride so intrigued me because I had read it was a trackless ride.  In my opinion it definitely lives up to all the hype and is so worth the wait.  We were so grateful we were able to ride first thing in the morning, this was our first ride of the day.  I will admit after experiencing the Rise of the Resistance, all the other rides just don't compare.  I love all the rides, but all I could think about was riding this one again.  

The next day while shopping at Downtown Disney one of the employee's shared with us how the employee's were able to ride before it officially opened but for the next six months or so they cannot enter the parks until after 10 AM to help with crowd control.  I appreciate the thoughtfulness in allowing out of town guests the opportunity to experience the ride.  A Disney Vacation Club employee was shocked that we got in Group 4 and shared with us how Disney plans on building a new hotel that will have a private entrance right into Batuu, how amazing is that.  Similar to how Disney's Grand Californian has a private entrance to California Adventure.  

I find it quite amazing how Disneyland makes great use of every space.  Quite amazing to think of the tunnels, the new parking structure that is being built now and the plans for growth, I'm excited to see it all unfold.  

Below are some tips and information that I found were helpful in obtaining that hard to come by Boarding Group Pass to ride the NEW Star War's Galaxy's Edge Rise of the Resistance Ride.

Download the FREE Disney App on your phone.  You want to do this prior to your visit, so you are ready to grab that Digital Boarding Pass to Ride.  Create an account or log into your account.  Once in the Disneyland Park open your Disney App, close out all other Apps.  I even powered off my phone and restarted as we entered the park.  (Note you cannot join a boarding group from the California Adventure park, you must be scanned in the Disneyland park).

Link all park tickets in the Disney App.  Have loaded each ticket of everyone in your group that will be in the park and would like to ride the Rise of the Resistance.  Have more than one person in your party trying as well, just in case one phone has to refresh or internet connection is slower. More than one person can have the same tickets loaded in their App.

Arrive to the Disneyland  Park at least an hour before park opening, to get through security and get in line. We arrived 1 1/2 hours early, the lines at 8:03 AM went all the way back to the California Adventure entrance.  

To help with crowd control they will open gates prior to park opening, make your way into the park. (We stood near Tomorrow Land, in case we needed to try using the manual machine boarding pass option, which is located next to the Buzz Light Year Astro Blaster's ride, another one is near Splash Mountain).

Open your Disney App a couple of minutes before park opening.  Disney does have free WiFi, check your device and see how many bars you have with and without WiFi.  When we visited I chose to not use the Disney WiFi.  I heard from others both things, some people said do not use Disney WiFi as so many people on it, will slow down your connection, others said the WiFi gave their phone more bars. 

Exactly at park opening click on the Star Wars Rise of Resistance Find out More Button. 

Have an extra person in your party counting down so you know exact park opening. There was a group of people standing next to us and one of the guys was counting down till 9 AM, (5, 4, 3, 2, 1) I think that helped to be quick.  Breathe and click through those buttons. 

Click on Join Boarding Group.  This button will not be available to press before park opening it will be light gray, once park opening it turns orange.  Then click the continue button and you will see everyone in your groups names listed, I did not have to select each one, they were already selected and I just clicked join boarding group.

If you have success you will be assigned a Boarding Group Number.  We were assigned Group 4!  It took about 10 minutes for us to receive our actual window of time.  Be sure to enable push notifications for the Disney App.

My notification said arrive before 10:09 AM. When we walked toward the ride, the sign outside the ride said Boarding Groups 1-11, while the App had just said now boarding group 2, so I would head to the ride a little early and check and see if you can board.  Another thing when they scanned my pass, it would not scan with my screen protector, they tried multiple times, before we just had my sister open them up on her App.  

The height requirement is 40" and children under the age of seven must be accompanied by a person age 14 years or older.  

Be kind to the cast members, this virtual queue is new for everyone and they are working out the system. The ride is amazing, it is an entire experience and totally worth arriving early and trying to ride. May the Force be with you!

Make sure to save time in your Disneyland visit to check out Star Wars Galaxy's Edge at night, the lights and views are beautiful.  A Disney cast  member shared with us the staff has to arrive crazy early to set up and turn on the new attraction Rise of the Resistance, I don't remember exactly but I believe he said it takes around five hours to power on this attraction.  

I know it helped us reading tips and hearing about other peoples experiences with the App, the process and the ride so I hope these tips will help you in your next visit to the Happiest Place on Earth.  

To stay up to date with the most current processes, I highly recommend you follow Disney bloggers, and Disney Instagram peeps, here are some of my favorites.

Easy Crock Pot Valentines White Chocolate Pretzel Bark

I am all about easy recipes!  Making candy bark in your crock pot is super simple.  You just toss everything in the crock pot, let it melt and then pour it onto a cookie sheet to cool, easy peasy.  

The one thing I love about making your own candy bark is you can change it up with sprinkles and candies depending on the season.  Since Valentines is around the corner I thought I'd share this fun and festive Valentines White Chocolate Pretzel Bark.   This was super easy to make, and a fun festive sweet treat. 

What you need:

12 oz Bag of White Chocolate Chips

1 pound of melting White Chocolate 

1 Baking Bar of White Chocolate

1 Cup of Oreo Cookies broken into pieces

2 Cups of broken pieces of pretzels.

1 Cup of Sprinkles or Valentines Candy Corn

Parchment paper or Silicone mat

Place all the chocolate in the crock pot and set it on low.  

Let the chocolate melt about 1 hour.  

Stir the chocolate half way through at 30 minutes.  

Once the chocolate is melted  mix in the cookie pieces, sprinkles or candy corn and pretzel pieces.  Stir and coat the ingredients and pour onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.  Once spread out onto the cookie sheet you can add some more pretzels, cookie pieces and sprinkles on top and let it set, about one hour.  Once cooled and firm, break apart into triangle pieces.  These would make a cute gift for a teacher placed in a mason jar.

Monster Jam Review | Sacramento Golden 1 Center 2020

Last night my family had a blast at Monster Jam in Sacramento at the Golden 1 Center!  My boys look forward to this show every year, it is one of their favorites.   My boys are 4, 8, 10 and 12 they all enjoyed the action-packed show, with high-flying, four-wheeling entertainment.  They had the drivers switch between their Monster Trucks, ATV's and Speedsters. Part of the fun is picking your favorite driver or Monster Truck and cheering them on.  We have a great time watching the crowd, cheer, shout and many times jump out of their seats rooting for their favorite truck and driver.  This show is action-packed and you never know what is going to happen, one truck lost its shell.  You have to stay until the end for the Freestyle event it is jaw-dropping seeing these 1200-pound machines perform tricks, and jumps at the hands of their skilled drivers.

You can find more photos and videos from last night’s Monster Jam Sacramento event on my Social Media Accounts:

Instagram: @BlogAboutItAll

Twitter: @BlogAboutItAll

During the show, you get to vote for your favorite truck with in-arena fan voting using your smartphone in the different categories such as donut competition and freestyle.  Results are shown on the big screen and the crowd cheers on their favorite.

There is an intermission time which I appreciated, I was able to re-charge my phone at one of the charging stations.  Taking lots of videos and pictures ate up my battery really quick, I was really grateful for the charging stations.

It is loud, my boys actually wore earplugs the very first time they went, but now they do not wear earplugs and they thought it was fine.  If you have a little one age 4 and under I would recommend ear protection if they are sensitive to loud noise. It is REALLY loud!

Be sure to reserve your parking before you go, it will save you money.  You can reserve parking at https://reserve.sacpark.org/ we try and always park at the 520 Capitol Mall Garage, it is a short walk and decent price. Another money saving tip is to purchase the Refillable Soda Cup, one of our favorites at the Golden 1 Center. They had light up Monster Jam Souvenir cup Sno-Cones, Popcorn in Monster Jam bags and a variety of food for sale.
