My kid’s friends love my Rice Krispie Treats. “You make the best Rice Krispie Treats ever!” is the compliment I usually get. Other moms are equally impressed. “You make your own Rice Krispie Treats?” they ask in awe.

I am not really sure what all the fuss is about. I use the recipe that is right on the box. The same recipe that my mother used before boxes of pre-made individually wrapped Rice Krispie Treats showed up on store shelves.

Clearly nothing beats homemade Rice Krispie Treats, so here is the recipe direct from Kellogg’s Rice Krispies website:
