I liked these, as did my guests. For those of you who have a cement block instead of a treat, make sure that you dont put these in the fridge to cool! they can just set on the counter or something, but in the fridge they turn into little rocks! i really like the fact that you dont need marshmellows for this, because even tho it is a little more work, i can make them even if there are no marshmellows in the pantry

    My Aunt Linda made these for us when we were kids. Now, I make them for my kids. We absolutely love them. I'm always asked to bring these to small get togethers. They never last long!

    These tasted fine but as soon as the bars cooled, they turned into cement! I don't know what the problem was, except that they were too hard to bite and we had to throw them out.

    Very good. These are just like my mom used to make. However, I substituted rice krispies for multi grain cherrios (could use plain also) because that is what I had on hand. And they were still awesome!
