What is ube (pronounced oo-bae)?  Ube is a delicious Filipino delicacy made of bright purple yams, typically combined with condensed milk and butter to create a party in your palette.  Its stunning purple color is inviting; its subtle, sweet flavor is addicting.  Nowadays, it’s hard to not come across ube in your Instagram feed, as it’s infiltrating your favorite American desserts – ice cream, donuts, pop tarts, cupcakes, cereal treats and more!

Our cousin is an amazing baker, but we’re not.  So, she taught us a very easy ube recipe that is almost fool-proof.  If we can do it, you can too!  Today, we’re making Ube Rice Krispies treats.  Yum!
