Grandma's cokbook would not be complete without the original Rice Crispie Treats recipe. She made these every year at Christmas. She would sometimes add raisins, chocolate chips, or M & M's.

On Christmas eve the family would descend on her house and eat up the traditional meat balls she made, cookies, and Rice Crispie Treats. Those are special memories.
