We use gluten free Rice Krispies, so these are a completely GLUTEN FREE treat at our house. They're excellent, and sooo easy to make! I like to make logs, and I'll even snack on these rather than a granola bar. I have found using raw sugar I can cut back on the amount a bit. They've made their way to the annual Christmas "baking" list. :)
