I've always made Rice Krispies Treats for my girls' treat day at school. Everyone loves them, especially the teachers. Sometimes I put special little ingredients in them like sprinkles, chocolate chips, or Reese's Pieces. I've been asked for my recipes over and over again. The best part is, they're all a piece of cake to make! (or 'a bowl of cereal'! in this case)
