  • 1 1/2 cups oven-toasted rice cereal (such as Rice Krispies)

These were so easy to make and soooo tasty! I toasted the almonds and chopped the cherries.

This was SUPER easy, SUPER fast, and SUPER delicious!!! I got a call that I was having people over and I finished this in no time!!! I make with strawberries instead of cherries (that's what I had on hand) and I actually used milk chocolate with white chocolate. It tasted great but I also want to try the semisweet chocolate. It probably won't be as sweet as with milk chocolate.

Very rich, thoroughly decadent...2 small crisps are ample for me a confirmed chocoholic (OK, well maybe 3, if eaten slowly!) I used Ghirardelli chocolate (bittersweet and milk instead of white) and cranberries - slightly tart to balance out the sweetness. A (very) easy to make gourmet treat (super Mother's day gift the kids can make with or without Dad's help!)

Delicious and oh so easy to make! The chocolate with the sweet cherries are wonderful. Good for kids as well as adults. I whipped these up in minutes and brought to party that evening - everyone loved them!

These are delicious and sooooo easy to make. It says to store them in the refrigerator, which is fine, but I would make sure they have time to come to room temp. before you serve them because the texture is better when they are slightly softer. Like a previous reviewer said, just like a little bite-sized candy bar. And I loved the cherries in this recipe. These make a great treat to whip up if you're having company over or for the holidays, and they won't take time away from other, more time-consuming kitchen endeavors. A+!

I use my crock pot to melt the chocolate and use Craisins instead of cherries. These are perfect every time.

These are so easy and taste wonderful. A crispy treat. Didn't change anything but next time will try the dried cranberries as previous reviewer suggested. A definite repeat.
