                                           I had so much fun creating these fathers day treats.
                                            The first batch was a mix of chocolate and plain
                                            rice krispies, dusted with cocoa powder and
                                          powdered sugar. Oddly enough strawberry
                                        rice krispies have been on the brain lately, but
                                       when I got to the grocery store they did not have any
                                      flavored marshmallows. Time to think quick...fresh
                                       strawberries?? maybe. I could cook them down with
                                       sugar and a little lemon juice then gently fold them into
                                      the melted marshmallow. I looked over and saw gelatin packs,
                                    right next to the marshmallows. So many flavors to
                                     choose from! Could it work?? Hey, with home-cooking
                                     anything is worth trying once! I picked out strawberry. After
                                    completing the first batch, I started melting butter and marshmallows
                                     for a second time, this time sprinkling a third of the strawberry gelatin
                                   pouch into the marshmallow/butter mixture stirring until well
                                       combined. The color was awesome and it smelled amazing.
                                   
                                      

.
                                    They worked out great and the possibilities are endless. I am looking
                                    forward to trying out all different flavors. Lime, orange, cherry.....
                                   Hope someone out there tries them with me! Happy Fathers Day weekend!
