Now that school has started, I’ll bet that your kids would love coming home to a batch of Andes Mint Chocolate Rice Krispie Treats.

You can whip these babies out in no time and then have plenty of time to sit and listen to your kids tell you about their day.  Some would say that a tall glass of milk would make this treat complete.

As an added bonus, if your kids are anything like mine, you can use this treat as a motivation for them to do their homework in a timely manner!

Until next time,
