I used butter flavored margarine. I omitted the salt. I made half the recipe. It's really yummy. Thanks Dreamer. Made for Zaar Star Game

These were really yummy!! I liked the combination of corn flakes and rice crispies. Next time I think I will try a combo of maple and corn syrup just to give a slightly different flavor -- but I will be making again!

Mmmmm. I like these better than Rice Krispy squares. Very yummy and super easy to make. I know it says it is supposed to chill for 6 hours, but the kiddos couldn't wait that long. Thanks for posting! Tagged for the Potluck Tag Game
