Lately my pantry has been overflowing with cereal. So what better way to use cereal than to make some simple Krispies Treats! Well, except I didn’t have any marshmallows in that pantry! But I did have ingredients to make them anyway!
Ingredients
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
½ cup of chocolate chips (optional, could have used Cocoa Krispies instead)
1 cup light corn syrup
½ cup of chocolate chips (optional, could have used Cocoa Krispies instead)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* Will need a Large saucepan (large enough to fit 6 cups of cereal and additional ingredients)
Directions
Prepare a 13 x 9 pan with a light coat of cooking spray, or lined with wax paper – then set aside
Over medium heat, melt corn syrup and sugar in large saucepan

Also this recipe, without the marshmallows is animal friendly, so even vegetarians may like it too :)

Have you made a classic dessert without the recommended ingredients? If so, did it turn out better or worse? What replacement ingredients work well for you?

Looks good! I used to change recipes often when we stuck to a vegan diet. Egg replacer was key - either commercial stuff or just plain old soy flour work. I have to admit, I think things work a bit better now that we use dairy and eggs again, but it's good to know I can do it in a pinch.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)
