Today I brought a rice krispie treat, a tasty snack made with the cereal, rice krispies, and marshmallows. Although they are easy to make at home, the one that I have is a store bought one. These store bought ones are definitely less tasty than the home made treats. I brought it because I had a box of them and it seemed like the easiest thing to do, bring in a prewrapped snack rather than something I made and needed to wrap up myself.
The snack is wrapped in a shiny blue foil, with a big white area to write notes to a child or loved one. On the inside the snack is a sticky rectangle of tastiness. It is a little crunchy but soft at the same time due to the melty marshmallows.
As a kid my mom would always have these handy as they're tasty and they're not as bad for you as most of the other sweet snacks out there. Everyday in my lunch my mother would put a snack of some sort, and more often than not it was a rice krispie treat. It always made my luch just a little better.
One of the great things about rice krispie treats is how versatile the recipie can be. I love them with peanut butter, with chocolate, or even with sprinkles. They can be great in so many different ways.
I had no idea the packaged Treats had a place for a note. That's nifty. But even niftier-just made rice krispie treats, when the marshmallow/butter mixture is still kind of gooey...
