    I have made something like this just not into a football and you can omit the butter and they will still come out good. Oh and the frosting to. - 1/8/14

    My view is that if you are going to have processed, sugary food this is at least one way to track it on your Nut tracker and hold yourself more accountable. Just having a RKT without any nut facts is much more frustrating to me. So, thanks for the info and help - 2/9/17

    21g of sugar for 1/3 cup of treat? No thanks. - 10/7/16

    Rice Krispie treats are wonderful. We have to remember that sometimes we need to have a treat and these can be pretty decent (especially if you don't need the frosting.) - 1/21/16
