I know that everyone has made these at one time or another in their lifetime - but thought it might be interesting for the young chefs coming up to have the recipe on hand!! For a festive look, red and green cherries can also be added.

Yay! My old favorite! I'm still a kid at heart so I was happy to see this. I think I'll make Fruit Loop and Frankenberry treats as well.

    Although I am not a young chef, I haven't made these since I WAS a young chef! I got the craving and was happy to find your recipe since I couldn't remember the proportions of the ingredients. They were awesome and took me back many years! I know I will keep making these! Thanks for the posting!
