We are still dealing with the remnants of a winter storm around here and even though school is cancelled, there’s still lots going on. There’s snow to shovel, dogs to walk, lacrosse practice, and all the daily “stuff” that needs to be done. The good news is before the storm hit, I had a fully stocked fridge and pantry so keeping everyone fed has not been a problem. Of course, at some point my guys wanted something sweet to eat and I surprised them with this new twist on a old favorite. Using my tried and true recipe for Rice Krispy treats, I switched out the cereal for Honey Nut Cheerios. I sprinkled in a little cinnamon and salt, mixed everything together and TA-DA, I had a winner!
If you're looking for a change from your ordinary marshmallow treats, look no further than this fun variation.
