Rice Krispie Treats

I have a feeling that I know what most of you are thinking right now. “Why Rice Krispie treats?” I mean, we all know the recipe is right there on the box, right? Yes, it is. However, this recipe is slightly different. This recipe is a Pioneer Woman recipe and my very favorite. Such simple changes, but I love how the pinch of salt wakes up the flavors, and I like adding just a few miniature marshmallows at the end. The original recipe calls for one bag of miniature marshmallows, but that is too many in my opinion, I usually throw in about 2 cups. Add the amount that makes you happy!

I used molds that I have had since my children were small to make the bats and pumpkins. Wes and Savannah stood on chairs beside me in the kitchen making dozens of these through the years. We made them for school parties, subdivision parties, and friends. They are still adorable and making these, alone in my kitchen, while the kids are off in college, brought back sweet memories.

Hi, I'm Amye. I started Not Just Sunday Dinner in 2011 after moving back to Georgia. I grew up in North Georgia and have lived in different parts of Georgia most of my life. After living in Florida for five years we moved back to Georgia in the summer of 2009. I've always loved Georgia, but now Florida holds a special place in my heart as well. I have been married for 26 years to a wonderful man, Greg. We have two children, Wes, 21 years old and a third year college student, and Savannah, 18 years old and a freshman in college. Greg and I have started "dating" again. Since the kids only want to see us when they need money
