Rice Crispy Balls

September 2, 2010

It always amazes me how the simplest things can impress my family.

I have been making rice crispy treats for years. I think most of us grew up making and eating them.

I recently took the basic rice crispy recipe and used chocolate cereal, but instead of putting them in a pan, I made  balls out of them. It was so easy and yet impressed my whole family.

My husband told me they were really good and asked if they were a new recipe. My kids thought that they were lots of fun to eat and really enjoyed them.

These would be perfect to serve a group of kids or at a birthday party. You could make several different flavors using different cereals. They would make a fun presentation in a large bowl and be perfect for kids to just grab and go.

All I did for this was make the treats as usual, but I used me cookie scoop to form the balls. I dropped them onto cookie sheets until they cooled and then served them.

Simple, easy, and fun!

Sloppy Joes

Sloppy Joes are one of those great, quick, and easy comfort food type recipes. For a long time I stayed away from making sloppy joes because my impression of sloppy joes was the kind I had seen so many people make. You know the version that is just opening the famous can, heating it, and [...]
