I made Rice Krispie treats

This is a festive week for my family-Mother's Day and birthdays galore The Rice Krispie treats are a favorite for the family (found out last Thanksgiving) They are gluten free, so most can enjoy.

I got a pack of salted caramel stuffed marshmallows at Ollie's last week. I used those and a few regular marshmallows to have enough. From the remnants in the bowl and on the spatulas, they are pretty good.

I recently saw a recipe - same as Rice Krispy treats - except you use Cocoa Krispies. I might have to try that some time.

Enjoy your busy week with your family!

but everyone went for the r.k. treats. I made some for Christmas and there was a lot of interest and then finger pointing because some people seemed to be getting more than others. lol

I see a lot of variations on the recipe. Using Cheerios, adding M&Ms or other candy, things like that.

I used my big metal pot today and it was easier to handle the mix, didn't cool as fast. I'll do that from now on
