hi there....one of my kids' favorite snacks for after school (or anytime) has always been homemade rice-krispie treats. We have made a few different variations; chocolate or p.b. chips, sprinkles, shaped like balls instead of bars, etc. But I have found that making them at home, they are not near as sugary, and have very little fat in them as opposed to store bought treats. Marshmallows do have quite a bit of sugar, but are fat free. So the only fat you put in them is from the small ammount of butter. And it feeds kids' need for sweet treats!
I am the best cook I know...I make everything just how I like it!
