  1. I tried to be clever by using puffed brown rice cereal instead of the sugar and high fructose corn syrup-laden Rice Krispies. Total fail, LOL. It turned really soggy. The flavour was terrific, though!! Had I used the Rice Krispies, it would've stayed nice and crunchy, so this gets 5 stars. If anyone is wondering, the puffed brown rice tastes exactly like rice cakes - different from Rice Krispies, but still a nice flavour. Doesn't work as a substitute in this recipe, though.
     
  2. Tasted very good. Very easy to make. Thanks for this recipe.
     
  3. Yummy! These reminded me of the Mr. Crunchy bunnies I used to love getting every Easter as a kid. I used all chocolate chips because I didn't have any butterscotch in the house. We made them into squares in a pan lined with greaseproof paper. I didn't find these crumbled more than normal Rice Krispie squares. They only took about 30 minutes to firm in the fridge.
     
  4. This is a very easy and quick treat to make. It does crumble more than rice crispy treats but it suits that sweet attack we get every once in awhile. Thanks for sharing your grandmothers recipe.
