It's been years since I've made Rice Krispies Treats, but I have fond memories of them. I remember they were kind of messy to make, but that didn't matter because they taste so good. We'd melt milk chocolate, pour it on top and stick them in the fridge for the chocolate to harden. I stopped making them after our three kids moved out of state. But they and their families (including my eight grandchildren) are gathering next summer for vacation. So I think it may be time to make Rice Krispies Treats again.
