When I was a kid, my mom would get the classic blue boxes of Rice Krispies at the grocery store as a treat and I always remember getting so excited about them.

If I saw the blue box peeping out, I would immediately ask her if I could have one. Rice Krispies sure hold a nostalgic place in my heart.

I adore chocolate rice krispies treats!
