Rice Krispie Treats: Fruity Variation

THis isn't relaly a recipe, but directions for a tasty adaptation of the traditional Rice Krispie treats. Warning: Eating too many will result in a tummy-ache, and they are addictive (I speak from experience here.)

Use your favorite Rice Krispie treat recipe with the following substitutions:

Instead of regular marshmallows, use the strawberry flavored ones.
(I didn't have strawberry ones, so I just used the regular ones)
Instead of regular Rice Krispies, use Fruity Pebbles.

After you have stirred the marshmallows and krispies together and the marshmallows are mostly melted, add some of the little fruit-flavored marshmallows. (I just added a couple of handfuls or until it looked like a good amount.) You don't really want these marshmallows to melt, but they add another gooey, fruity dimension to the treats.

Good luck and enjoy!

Put mini pretzels on a baking sheet.

Put a Rollo on each one.

Bake for 2 minutes at 350 degrees.

Press a walnut piece or M& M into each Rollo

Let cool. You can store these in a plastic bag. Yummy!

A teacher at school (Carol Buckles) brought them to school this week.

CORNFLAKE CANDY SURPRISE

This would be a no-no at Gina's house (little man has peanut allergies), but I love the coconut in it!

6 Cups Cornflakes,
3/4 Cup Light corn syrup,
3/4 Cup Peanut Butter
3/4 Cup Brown sugar
1 Cup Coconut.

Use a large pan melt the corn syrup and sugar-bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add the peanut butter & stir in the corn flakes and coconut. Press into 9x11 pan. Store in an air tight container, you can also add nuts, chocolate chips or raisins. Note: if you need a double batch just make it twice, for some reason it just doesn't turn out as well if you try to double it.
