I made these using cornflakes instead of rice cereal and a little green food coloring to make greenery for my son's dinosaur-themed birthday cake. Divine! I haven't actually made them with the rice cereal, but I'm sure they're just as delicious.

Made these for my birthday and they were amazing! Very moist, great texture, and the ganache takes them over the top. I'm not a fan of whiskey so I left it out, but I can see how well it would work for someone who enjoyed it. I did increase the frosting yield by adding an 8-oz block of cream cheese and enough powdered sugar to get it to the proper consistency (about 3 more cups), mainly because I love heaps of frosting in general and cream cheese frosting in particular. I got exactly 24 cupcakes with this recipe, though I did have to work really hard to get the last one up to volume. Definitely recommended.

When Pi(e) Day 2011 rolled around, I found exactly what I was in the mood for with this recipe. The filling walked the fine line between silky custard and rich fudginess, and the marshmallow topping could not have been easier or more delicious. The only issue I had was was my own fault: I had to go with a premade crust due to lack of time.
Speaking of time, the cooling and resting times specified are a bit excessive. I've never had a prebaked crust take 45 minutes to cool, and this was no exception. Likewise, the post-prep chill only ended up being about 1.5 hours total, and that was more than enough.
For browning, use the broiler or a real torch - don't waste your time with a little brulee torch. I put mine under the broiler for no more than 20 seconds and watched it like a hawk the whole time. Perfection!
