"This is a recipe I found on a box of Rice Krispies years ago. I make every year to add to my Xmas treats tray. These freeze well, just add a sheet of wax paper in between the cookie layers so they will not stick together. These can easily be made gluten free by using gluten free rice crisps cereal."
