Cereal Candy Squares

My grandmother used to make this for us when we were children, long before any of US had heard of Rice Krispie Treats. And to this day (40+ years!) I still prefer this, even though it is slightly more difficult to make when compared to picking up a box of Rise Krispie Treats at the store
