You can modify this to different treats (if you don’t have all the fruit in the house). Get creative with this and we’d love to see pictures of your creation!
Lucky Rice Krispy Treats – this twist on traditional rice Krispy treats is super easy to make. Follow the Rice Krispy treat recipe but substitute 3 out of 6 of the cups of Rice Krispy’s with lucky charm cereal! This will be a hit in their lunch box or as a dessert after dinner!
