I'm sorry but these just weren't a hit - I babysat my friend's daughter and her buddies and they didn't like them very much... said they were "weird" so I ended up making them some rice krispie squares instead... Thanks for the recipe though! It was totally worth trying to try to get the girls to eat something more nutritious than a marshmallow!
