Cup of Yum
Notes
- We use plain m&m's in this recipe, but any variety should work fine.
- When adding in the extra marshmallows, you'll want to stir them in with the Rice Krispies to soften, but don't try to melt them fully. They add little bits of chewy marshmallow throughout the bars that everyone loves.
