Kashi krispies
Made with whole-grain Kashi cereal, this spin on Rice Krispies squares is a big hit with kids. Some of them like it better than the traditional version, on which this recipe is based. You can use any whole-grain cereal but I like the Kashi Seven Grain.
Servings: 8 to 10
Ingredients
4 cups puffed whole-grain cereal
2 cups miniature marshmallows
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup chocolate chips
Method
Butter an 8-by-10-inch (or similar sized) pan and set aside.
Heat the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add miniature marshmallows and stir for 2 minutes or until melted. Add cereal and cranberries and stir until cereal is well coated. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Scrape mixture into prepared pan and use a spatula to pack it tightly. Let set until firm. Cut into squares.
