Kicked up Rice Krispies

Sometimes you just want something easy and quick, but you still want it to be a little special. These rice krispie treats are perfect for that occasion. Quick, easy, a little special, and super tasty. We made them twice in one week. Apparently, Jared approved of them... I found the recipe here. She has the most amazingly beautiful desserts and each one looks better than the next.

Edited to add: I made these again this past week, except we added a little peanut butter and it was so good! Perfect addition to chocolate and Oreos!
