My mom is legendary for her Rice Krispies Treats. She has many varieties, but my favorite is her Rice Krispies and Cocoa Krispies mix. At every Christmas dinner, where four generations of family get together, they are always hunting down her treats. Family members even bring their own Tupperware to hide a stash. In preparation for these dinners, I would always try to get her to leave some of the mixture on the spoon so I could eat it while it was warm. But she would scrub the spoon so well! I have taken over her recipes and, when I have children, I will do the same with them and carry on the family tradition.
