I found this recipe when my daughter was young and it was one of our Christmas traditions to make these each year. Last year, I taught my granddaughter to make them for our family Christmas celebration. Very good and a nice switch from Rice Krispies Treats.

This is a great recipe! My mother in law makes it for the kids every year...even for the "big kids" because we love them too! Thanks for posting...if she quits making them, I'll know where to go for the recipe. :)
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in northern Minnesota with my husband. We have a dog, Buddy, who is a shepherd-collie mix. We also have a cat, Tigger, who is a brown Tabby. We both like to cook, but I'm the one that gets our meals on the table on a daily basis. My husband enjoys his role as reviewer/critic. I know a recipe is worthy of a 5-star review when my husband gives me a "top shelf, baby" after finishing his meal. If I don't hear that phrase, it just isn't a 5-star recipe. So far, I've always agreed with his reviews. If I ever think he's wrong, I'll have to rethink our system!
I've never been a really good cook, but I've always been great at following directions. Thanks to recipezaar, I just have to find the great recipes and they make me look good! It really doesn't get any better than that!
