We have loved these for years and make them all the time. As a mom I make them with my kids and as a scout leader I make them with my scouts. Only thing is that I have found out about my food allergies more recently. My allergies are dairy, eggs, peanuts and gluten. So I substitute sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. Then I use a dairy free margarine. And of course we only use corn and rice chex as they are gluten free. Now I can have my treat too :)

I have been gluten free since I was 5. My favorite chocolate to use comes from a local health food store. It's called Carob! I have used it to make this and my youngest nieces and nephews have no clue!
