For all u critical moms... Just sayin' that my son loved this and obviously children don't necessarily like "healthy" stuff all the time... I gotta say this is one of MY favorite recipes.

 John (Pennsylvania) says:
I want to make these, but don't know what to use to grease the pan. Also, how much grease? Lastly, can the treats be wrapped to keep them fresh? Thanks.

 Lisa (Yukon Territory) replies:
"grease" as in use non-stick cooking spray (e.g. PAM).

 Greg (Oregon) says:
Jeez, anything with corn syrup (marshmallows are virtually all corn syrup) cannot be healthy. But we all need a vice or two, don't we? Was wondering if anyone tried making krispies with other cereals that turned out bad. I was assuming the cereal needed to be light, airy and crispy to work. Do flake cereals and granolas work well?
