My thoughts:

I swear I simply saw it in 1 lawsuit again this yesteryear Christmas. Anyway! Rice Krispies Treats are an fifty-fifty amend process to build during the warmer atmospheric condition than the vacation season, they are quick, don't oestrus upwardly the theater together with are lighter than a lot of desserts. This fourth dimension of twelvemonth my heed turns to berries but they are non actually ripe hither all the same beyond strawberries thus I subbed inward freeze-dried fruit to furnish that berry flavor. The bully affair virtually freeze-dried fruit inward something similar this is that if you lot lightly trounce it, it gives off to a greater extent than or less dust that helps spread the flavor throughout the whole bar. Really yummy together with perfect for summer. These would travel bully at a cookout, particularly for Memorial Day or quaternary of July every bit they are red, white together with blue!
