Yum!! Great recipe, simple and tasty! I made mine low carb by using broken up pork rind pieces instead of the cereal, sugar-free melting wafers, and sugar sub for the cinnamon sugar!
Fun and easy! I had to add an extra half cup of chocolate chips but other than that no issues!
These are delicious! However, mine don’t look anything like those pictured. I did double check the amount of cinnamon on your recipe. Should it be teaspoons, not tablespoons? I still give it 5 stars.
I was wondering the same thing. I did tablespoons and mine are so dark they look like chocolate, definitely not like the picture. But they taste okay
My son will be so happy for this. Thanks for the quick instructions.
