Ok I’m kind of obsessed with these no bake treats! I mean, when you can have this yummy delicious gooey treat in about 20 minutes, who wouldn’t love it!

I love how simple these bars were to make and my kids did too!

Different variations?

As I told you in my last post about marshmallow treats, I mentioned that you could use any cereal! Now I am on a mission to try!

Remember you can make these fruity marshmallow treats or these charm treats! Equally delicious!

And how about these lemon white chocolate rice krispy treats? I mean, let’s do it!

Do they freeze well?

Now will they taste as good as good as when you first make them? No, the flavor is a little different. But it is a good way to store them if you make too many. 

I actually freeze my treats all of the time!
