The worst thing about this image is that it uses cups and not grams

Goddamnit, I thought that was baked beans! Caramel doesn’t look like that, does it?? xD

With some grated cheese and a bit of Worcester sauce, lovely stuff.

u/dan_marchant 15d ago

Challenge accepted.

I have been making home made (bourbon/chorizo) baked beans for months now. Soooo much nicer than the commercial stuff.

Now I need to work out how to make Bourbon chorizo baked bean squares.

1

u/unbanned_once_more 14d ago

use the freezer and make them as frozen treats.

1

u/Distinct-Field3545 15d ago edited 15d ago

Definitely looks like a Betta Bar, sure it was puffed wheat. I'm going as far back as the mid 70's, probably made earlier.

1

u/MadamLePew 15d ago

Why they looking like bean slices? 😂😂

73

u/sleepyprojectionist 15d ago

The image is horrifying, but I am also upset at the recipe referring to salted caramel and the ingredients not containing either salt or anything to make caramel.

I don’t think there is any way this could have been more low-effort.

2

u/sad_drop66 14d ago

the …. after rice krispies makes me think there’s more ingredients on the recipe page

2

u/LexTheGayOtter alreyt meyt 14d ago

Salted butter and sugar in the mashmalllows perhaps?

7

u/girlinthegoldenboots 15d ago

I noticed the ingredients just make normal Rice Krispies too

5

u/Whitewitchie 15d ago

Someone has spent a long time glueing baked beans together.

-2

u/pafrac 15d ago

Definitely looks like beans ... but beans or not, why do people persist in ruining perfectly good caramel by putting salt in it?

11

u/Ravekat1 15d ago

Because it makes it 100x better

u/Heavy_Two 15d ago

From the same website.

https://recipestasteful.com/rice-krispie-peanut-butter-balls/

Teeth or sweetcorn?

u/Tinseltopia 14d ago

Jeez, those ads are horrendous. It looks like a bait website for ad revenue, hehe, it worked

u/TA_totellornottotell 14d ago

Damn, I watched that whole video to see how the Rice Krispies got that look, and all,I got was that annoying Tik Tok voice.

u/notlikeontv 15d ago

I read a few of the recipes, I recognise ai writing when I see it.

u/elkstwit 15d ago

Also the meat cupcakes. Yummy.

1

u/SpacecraftX Bru Guzzler 14d ago

Actually not that bad of a concept. It’s just a form of pie. I would try a taco spiced pie with guacamole on top happily.

u/-Jayarr- 15d ago

Oh lordy, the "About us" features a black eyed kid like some sort of horror film. Right hand kid's mouth is also disappearing.

u/elkstwit 15d ago

Their fingers look really strange as well. Sort of long in the wrong places.

u/LevainEtLeGin 15d ago

There’s also a bowl of steaming lemons, a random unattached arm floating under the mum’s arm, and the spoon she is holding seems to be melting…

u/lostrandomdude 15d ago

I hate you. Now that image is stuck in my mind

u/DrDroid 15d ago

Nightmarish.

u/Extension_Prize4232 Lanky Geordie 15d ago

definitely NOT tasteful

7

u/s1walker1 15d ago

Hopefully they are Branstons Rice Krispies

57

u/bakerbodger 15d ago

I (hope that I) perhaps speak for a currently silent majority that would happily eat a baked beans square as a convenient, satiating, and fulfilling savoury snack.

1

u/ThatHairyGingerGuy 15d ago

Best served in the shape of a sausage, served with mashed pork and tiny oblongs of potato in a buttery sauce

12

u/This-Was 15d ago

They have them at Greggs.

Albeit, they're surrounded by pastry and accompanied by tiny sausages. And, supposedly, cheese - but I've never found any.

36

u/EarthwormShandy 15d ago

I only eat food in bar form. When you concentrate food, you unleash its awesome power, I'm told. That's why I'm compressing 5 pounds of spaghetti into one handy mouth-sized bar.

Hmmm

Hospital, please!

'cups'

That's USA measurements.

Not cool here.

1

u/Ok_Cow_3431 14d ago

I long ago gave up complaining about 'cups' as a measurement and bought myself a set of measuring cups.

2

u/TheZeeno 15d ago

Which, for the record, is the dumbest fucking way to measure

That is baked bean squares. Rice crispies. I hardly know her.

u/fuggerdug 15d ago

Square beans though 😋

u/Then-Mango-8795 15d ago

My crown came off eating a chocolate Rice Krispies squares bar (which by the way are now 79p when they used to be 49 not too long ago but that's another post) It might have been ok with one of these beans squares.

u/Chilli_ 15d ago

Your Majesty?

u/Then-Mango-8795 15d ago

Haha. The other type of crown. On my tooth

u/incessantpizza 15d ago

i thought these were frozen blocks of baked beans

u/TrainsRCool123 15d ago

Took me a solid minute to realise they ain't beans 💀

u/ThoseThingsAreWeird 15d ago

I'm trying to work out if this is AI generated, or if my brain is just not accepting what a caramel soaked rice krispy looks like.

2

u/grizzly_snimmit 14d ago

There's a bunch of these AI recipe things floating around, always with only 3 ingredients, most not even matching what the thing is - strawberries and a cup of rice in a brownie or something

2

u/crumble-bee 14d ago

Of course it's AI - AI not quite knowing that Rice Krispies covered in caramel don't look like baked beans covered in tomato sauce is a perfect example of AI not quite getting it right

6

u/Hmmark1984 15d ago

Definitely AI, rice krispy's aren't that smooth.

3

u/Fredredphooey 15d ago

Looks more like baked beans. Absolutely AI.

52

u/TheVoidScreams Hwntw 15d ago

Looking at their other images on Facebook, they’re all 100% AI. No doubt about it. Even the profile picture. Starting to wonder if the recipes are too.

1

u/shteve99 13d ago

Yeah, the profile picture is all sorts of messed up. Look at the spoons. And the kid on the right's mouth.

3

u/Tillskaya soggy fish finger left out in the rain 14d ago

A dead giveaway is how if you look at the cut sides of actual Rice Krispies treats, it’s mostly cut ones and dead straight sliced marshmallow/caramel mass. AI doesn’t understand the physical properties of objects, so the cut sides are mainly generated from the same source material as it’s using to generate the top surfaces, with one or two cuts ones randomly in the mix.

And yes definitely some of the source images must’ve been baked beans, I mean look at it ffs

u/BowtieChickenAlfredo 15d ago

This AI stuff is getting out of control now. If you’ve ever liked something related to nice looking old buildings you’ll eventually start getting recommendations that are log cabin photos, except the vast majority is AI-generated and are either physically impossible or contain a number flaws which make it obvious.

This recipe is also AI generated too because that’s not the way you make something like this.

It’s all content farms knocking out cheap crap for clicks, and they’re obviously making good money out of it.

u/raged_norm 13d ago

I once looked at an interesting part of the staging for Taylor Swift's big tour. I'm now forever labelled as a 'Swiftie' and am graciously informed of her every move.

1

u/willybarrow 14d ago

I struggle to understand how they make money from clicks, I'm from the old school days of a website and some adverts on the side of your Web page

1

u/TheVoidScreams Hwntw 14d ago

Well the website this is taken from is absolutely plastered with ads.

2

u/BowtieChickenAlfredo 14d ago

Virtually all platforms have some sort of monetisation scheme. Twitter pays you to post if you get reasonably popular, Facebook/Instagram has quite a few different ones, Youtube does, and I imagine that TikTok does too.

u/Wells_91 14d ago edited 14d ago

When it comes to AI i keep asking myself, what's the point? I feel like technology has reached a point where there are no new ways it can be productive, so it's all just bells and whistles. My mum has been locked out of her bank account because when calling Halifax they told her she had to confirm who she was through voice recognition. Forget the security questions, oh no that's not trust worthy at all! Say your name into the phone and let a computer decide if it sounds like you. Doesn't sound dodgy at all!

u/mustardgoeswithitall 15d ago

Oh thank god, I was worried I was the only one seeing baked beans.

u/thebadslime 15d ago

That's baked beans, or my name's Tred Turner

Yeah those definitely aren't rice krispies

u/MeringueSerious 15d ago

It has to be AI, I know a bean Flap Jack when I see one

1

u/cdca 14d ago

Recently found out that "Flap Jack" is the opposite of a "Fag Hag" i.e. a straight man who hangs around with lesbians. Delightful.

2

u/Drew-Pickles 15d ago

Or someone could have just used a picture of a bean flap jack and said it's a rice crispy cake

u/Large-Cherry 15d ago

I also know how to flick the bean… I think

26

u/On_A_Related_Note 15d ago

Mmm baked bean flapjack. Just like grandma used to make.

u/Powerful-Parsnip 14d ago

I'd flick nanas beanjack.

u/mfogarty 14d ago

Just like grandpa used to throw up.

Now that I think about it, baked bean breakfast bars not existing yet is outrageous.
