On Sunday it will be National Rice Crispy Treat Day so to help you prepare here is a treat that I made last winter. I don't know if you will be able to find all the ingredients but give it a try. You won't regret it!

Ingredients:
6 C cocoa crisp rice cereal
4 T light butter
2 8 oz bags of Kraft Jet-Puffed Gingerbread Mallows

Directions:

1. Butter or spray a large pan and set it aside.

2. Put a large sauce pan on low heat and melt the light butter.

3. Measure out the cereal and set aside.

4. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir them until everything is melted and smooth.

5. Slowly add in the cereal and stir until all the cereal is coated with the melted marshmallows and butter.

6. Spoon into the prepared pan and then smooth out.

7. Set aside to firm up for about an hour then cut into 24 pieces. Each piece should have 115 calories if you used the same ingredients and cut this into the same number of pieces.
