Growing up, my mom made these little treats every Halloween and they were better than anything I could have found in my trick or treat bucket! She would wrap them all individually in wax paper and give them to my friends and cousins when they came by, but I secretly hoped that there wouldn't be a lot of visitors because that meant there would be more for me! They are incredibly easy to make and put together, and they are super addictive. You really can't go wrong with the crunchy, gooey goodness of these guys, and they are so much better than Rice Krispy Treats!
