Background

This is a classic recipe that makes perfect rice krispie treats that have a delicious balance of goo and crunch. It's the recipe you used to read on the side of the cereal box while eating your breakfast as a little kid. It's the kind of dessrt where you can't stop eating them once you start.

This recipe is important to me because my grandpa has made it on the first day of school every year since kindergarten. It makes me feel happy and nostalgic. The first day of school is always stressful, but I always look forward to my grandpa's rice krispie treats.
