Rice Krispies treats will always be a great starter dessert for getting your kids to help out in the kitchen. You let them stir the puffed cereal into melted buttery marshmallows and spread it (albeit messily) into a baking pan. Now, you're older and still craving those crunchy bars, but the original recipe doesn't quite do it for you anymore. What to do? Make these red velvet krispie treats, and never look back.
