I made Rice Krispie treats

[Marthe48]

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.

1. Sounds yummy, Marthe! My adult sons gobble those right up.

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!

2. There were g.f. and dairy sensitive guests at Thanksgiving

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

3. I've made them with added mini M&Ms, those are good, too.
