    Where to buy


1.  In large fry pan, cook ground beef and onion until meat is browned, stirring frequently. Drain off excess drippings. Add remaining ingredients except buns. Stir to combine, cutting tomatoes into pieces with spoon. Cover fry pan. Simmer over low heat about 15 minutes. Serve on toasted buns.

My son has never been one for ice cream, chocolate or candy. He has always loved Rice Kirspy Treats though. After many years of making my peanut butter version of this tasty treat, my son moved away to college. A month passed by and I often offered to bake him cookies or some other tempting treat. He finally asked me one day "You know, Mom, all I would really love to have is some of those delicious Rice Krispy Treats you used to make. Well, I made a double-batch and took them to him the next weekend. You would think he had won the lottery. When I asked him if he was going to share them with his roommates, his reply was "if they're lucky" I might offer them one. It's nice to know that after 18 years he still loves them. It started with the ones premade from the box to my own version of this time-tested recipe. Thanks for making my son's life a "little sweeter". Signed, A Grateful Mom
