Crispy Crunch

Crisped rice, made crispier and sweetened a bit to make a wonderful, buttery crispy crunch.

When I saw the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Crunch Cookies, the crispy crunch first attracted me to them. I knew I had to give it a try. We used most of the Crispy Crunchies we made to make the Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Crunch Cookies, but we also found ourselves munching on just the Crispy Crunchies themselves. You can use these crispy crunchies in lots of different recipes to add a nice crunch. I'm thinking about brownies next! The "snap, crackle, pop" of the crispy crunch also added another fun dimension to this recipe.
