I love making crispy rice treats because they are quick and easy. They allow me to be creative with the added ingredients. This recipe is a hit, especially at picnics and bar-b-ques. It's great for when you want to make a snack in the summer without the heat of using an oven. Enjoy! Note: I buy the pineapple at my grocery store that has a serve yourself section for candies, nuts and dried fruit.
