Krispie Goodness

I subscribe to a lot of blogs, one of which is extremely popular, the Brown Eyed Baker. Most of her recipes are ok but a little too sweet for me. This rendition of her Avalanche bars is no exception.

Though it's all candy, it does give me a nice break from dipping into the Halloween candy jar, and these Krispie Goodies are far superior to a reese's pb cup anyway;-)

Another plus for this recipe is how silly simple it is to make. Although her recipe calls for use of the microwave, which I totally hate and am against using for melting chocolate, taking the time to melt this on a double boiler really is all the time this recipe takes and not much more than waiting.

My variation of this recipe is due to what ingredients I had on hand, but I doubt it made much of a difference from the original. Still pretty good and gluten free is a plus for my Buddy (who I gave a bunch too).
