ST. PATRICK'S DAY RICE KRISPIE TREATS



St. Patrick's Day Rice Krispie Treats image

I needed to make a green St. Paddy's Day dessert that everyone would eat... very easy, family favorite! The cooking time listed here is the cooling time. These are best if eaten the same day they're made, but can be made ahead for special occasions.
