Two of my all time favorite treat are Muddy Buddies and Rice Krispie Treats. Who doesn’t love the both of them? I’ve been making each of them since I was little and I could barely reach the counter to prepare them.
Recently I was thinking rather than always having to choose one over the other I would just combine the two into one, because after all they both begin with rice cereal so they do have something in common. Let me just say these are seriously delicious! Now you, like me, wont have to choose one treat over the other, with these you get two in one. Got to love that! Enjoy!
