it, of course. \u00a0But a while back I just had to buy a box of Fruit Loops. \u00a0I loved them as a kid. \u00a0It made the milk turn a lovely pastel color and made the milk taste super delicious, like most sugary cereals do. \u00a0I thought the kids would LOVE it. \u00a0Both of them refused to eat it. \u00a0I guess that&#8217;s good, but it did mean I had a huge family sized box that was just begging to be made into something delicious.<\/p>\n<p>With a couple of bags of marshmallows in my pantry it was an easy decision to make Rice Krispy Treats, only with Fruit Loops.<\/p>\n<p><a

sweet treats, so the combination of sugar cereal and marshmallow doesn&#8217;t appeal to him in the least. \u00a0They are a little over the top, I&#8217;ll admit. \u00a0And they are sweet, a small square is just enough. \u00a0I think they&#8217;d be a great little treat at a kid&#8217;s birthday party. \u00a0But they&#8217;re also a nice little treat for adults as well.<\/p>\n<p><a
