Rice crispy squares are one of my favorite things to eat! I love them so much that I could literally eat the entire pan. This recipe was exactly what I needed. It allows me to enjoy one serving without the temptation to devour a 9×13″ pan.
Thank you!
Glad this worked for you too Beth! ~Martha
Thank You! This is just what I need when I want something sweet and not eat the whole pan. Also thanks so much for keeping Points Plus points on your recipes. I tried the New ww plans and they didn’t work for me…went back to PP and doing great!
