i must say that despite the fact that i have a sweet tooth, i've never really been a fan of sugared cereals. i don't like how the milk gets unbearably sweet towards the end so i usually stick to cornflakes or special-K for my cereal choices. i don't even care for froot loops but when i was introduced fruity pebbles by a friend few years back, i was hooked. really really hooked! i love the fruity lemony flavor and the medley of colors and i could still remember on some busy days i actually had it for breakfast, lunch & dinner! this is probably also the only post cereal i eat. anyway, i think these rice krispies kinda treats are really common but i've never had it before so i decided to make some with the leftover marshmallows i had.


these were so good! using only 3 ingredients, this must be one of the easiest things to put together. i think i made it in less than 15 mins, real easy peasy! these were crispy yet chewy at the same time and because i used salted butter they tasted somewhat like salted caramel. very nice. i scaled down quite abit from the original recipe so i only yielded four squares. the colors were also very fun and pretty to look at, unfortunately i feel like i wasn't able to capture the beautiful colors because it had been so cloudy & rainy these few weeks :( oh well.
