Full sheet cereal bars?

Hey all I’ve been using a little pan that has a cutter. So basically I would make a batch if rice crispy treats, and use the cutter to get perfect portion bars. This is not going to cut it anymore. I need to do full shit pans, then cut by hand. My question is, does anyone know a recipe
For a sheet pan.
1 10 Oz bag of marshmallows
6 cups cereal
5 tbs butter
1 tsp sunflower lecithin
What ever activated product you need to use
This has been perfect, but I font want to waste a bunch of time and products if anyone knos how much butter, marshmallows and cereal is needed for a whole sheet. I was also watching a video on this device that smashes into the pain to evenly distribute the cereal bar mix or cookie dough or brownies evenly through out the pan. Anyone got a good diy fir that. Im wanting consistency in size and taste. Thank you guys so much.

Take you current recipe and double it. Should probably use a bit more butter too. As far as how much cereal, that one you have to play with. Different cereals are different sizes so a certain weight of one may be too much or too little of another. Another compounding factor is how hard you are mixing the batter will determine the final size of the batch. If you are busting up the cereal, it will make the bars smaller and more compact. If you wanna buy my recipe, I’d gladly sell it to you. Otherwise, you’re just gonna need to play around. All this shit is cheap, and if you are willing to experiment you will definitely figure it out.

I was also going to add that something like this may help as well. We have been talking about making one for the better part of 2 years now, but only recently got it modeled up and sent over for waterjet cutting.

Seriously? You have a recipe that works and you can’t scale it?!?

Pro tip: don’t add the weed till you’ve found a recipe that works…

I suggest you offer @Photon_noir $ for his recipe…best rice-crispy treats ever!

My tip: Lightly toast the cereal, brown the butter, add 1 Tbsp vanilla and 1 tsp sea salt to your full recipe to give it a more complex flavor that really compliments any taste from the extract used. I’ve only made these for friends/family/coworkers but they have been well received.

Do you know your extract potency and an idea of target dose?

Wow, geat top, I could see those adding some flavor. Yes I do. I need to weigh everything. Then maybe I can find out how many of my recipe(with 2 extra ingredients now) will fit in a full sheet. So I have been using the brownie pans that make 18. I made a spreadsheet that I can enter in my potency of distillate and how many treats I’m making, then how strong I want it to be.

Is that a big cutter like in the small brownie pans, if so, I was literally looking for one of those yesterday on the internet.

If reiterating “dont add weed till you’ve got a working recipe” stops the next guy wasting “product”, it’s helpful. You had that part? Awesome!

You’d be surprised at how many folks miss that concept….

if you can’t give away a sheet pan of non-dosed rice crispy treats you might take my third suggestion to heart.

Oh I wasn’t being a smart ass. I dint know if you have ever watched key and peele, but they have a skit just about that. Not being able to tell people’s tone by text. I appreciate any suggestions I get. Im just a stoner replying all stoned lol.

So, yes it is! One thing you’ll find about scaling cereal bar production is that the cooking is the easy part. The homogenization, and consistency is where most people flop. It’s tricky to get marshmallow to be evenly dispersed through the cereal without breaking up the cereal a lot. The next tricky part is getting everything even and consistent through out the pan. Finally your cuts have to be fairly precise and without a fancy grid cutter like I posted, it truly is an art-form keeping your lines straight and making sure that each bar is the same size/weight as the one next to it. When I can get one of them fancy grid cutters cut out and welded up, I’ll let ya know how it goes!

I used to make lots of rice krispies. By far a favorite of mine.

You ever had strawberry rice krispy bars?

Have you thought about putting your cereal bars in molds?

that sounds delicious! we’ve been making non-canna ones for years around the house. i like using fruity pebbles but that strawberry sounds like it could be legit.

my edibles are thc oil and mct based. so try the recipe without the thc but with mct makes sense. I only ruined one batch I think? ill make some fruity pebble bars and try hard to find a market for them. Its got limited shelf life vs frozen gummies. Does hash oil mix well with butter vs the mct? i got ahomogenizer but the butter will foam or something if i used that.

You can probably find boxes of them on amazon but its been a year+ since I’ve made those specific flavors. They were loved, by me including.

Berry crunch bars and frosted flakes were always good too, I did multiple flavors so I can’t remember my favorite other than that strawberry.

Assuming a reasonable dosage target (10-50mg/“treat”), you probably don’t have to worry TOO much about your cannabinoid source affecting the taste of the treat (much more room for diluent in a 3”x3”x2” scoobie snack than a 1cm cube gummy), but you might should still take the time to taste the extract/distillate BEFORE committing to adding it to your recipe.

I actually ran into a(nother) raw BHO that didn’t taste bitter last week. I was surprised enough that I went back for a second, then third sample.

Which was problematic because it was just done with decarb :man_facepalming:

It didn’t actually taste sweet like the stuff I advised @DropWise to make honey sticks from, but is among only handful out of hundreds I’ve tasted that did not taste bitter.

chaos crispies… i fucken love the name haha.
