I was disappointed with the recipe, but not the result, because I was able to adjust. There is not enough rice krispy mixture to make both a bottom and top layer in a 9x13 pan. The same goes for the chocolate in the middle. I had to make more of each once I saw how little the recipe produced. They didn't hold together very well, but they did taste pretty good.

Couldn't resist the photo and made these for an overnight of my daughter's. I melted the choc. in a double boiler. These are a great way to dress up Rice Krispies. Thanks for including the interesting history of the recipe, too. Roxygirl

I have that same Wisconsin Electric cookie cookbook. Everyone likes these bars- a step up from plain Rice Krispies treats!
