Grandma W and the Great Aunts used to have a cookie baking binge for the holidays, and this was one Grandma made for me. I never liked chunky peanut butter, so she substituted rice krispies for the crunch. Now that I have had Ohio Buckeyes, I don't make it this way any more! But it brings back great memories...
