Gingerbread Rice Krispies image

This recipe appeared in Family Fun magazine a year or two back. It originated with a mother who did not want her son's food allergies to prevent him from enjoying holiday sweets. Once you've made the basic recipe you can do lots of fun things with the recipe. You can cut them into squares just like you do with the original recipe, cut them with Christmas cookie cutters and decorate like you would any Christmas cookie, or assemble gingerbread houses.
