When I was in a store the other day I noticed a bag of rice krispy treats covered with chocolate and candy at $7.00 a bag for 6 ozs. Here is my version of that treat and it won’t cost you nearly that much to make them! These treats are perfect for your kids school parties.
Rice Krispy Treats was something you could always count on to be in our Grandmothers kitchen. They were one of her favorite things to make as she knew her grandchildren loved them. I think she almost made them weekly. She would of loved this version of them and all of the other ones we see out there now.
