I used to make these bars often, they are just like a Rice Krispie bar but a whole lot more colorful!
PLUS they are soooooo SUPER EASY to make, the kids can do it, without much help. HOWEVER, parents may need to be supervised! I made a batch last night and thought I remembered the ratio of butter to marshmallows and made them with out looking. I used 2 sticks of butter to one bag of marshmallows. Totally, wrong! It is 1/2 stick of butter to a bag of marshmallows and 8 cups of cereal. CALLING PAULA DEAN… on an overuse of butter violation!
