back-to-school treats

We hope everyone is back into the swing of things now that the kids are in school. I feel pretty settled into my daily routine. My little guy just started kindergarten so it has been a pretty exciting time for us. Last week after his first day of school, I thought it would be fun for him to come home to a yummy homemade treat. I found this yummy recipe on Pillsbury's website and knew it would be a fun treat for my boys. Hope you enjoy it too!

In saucepan, melt butter and marshmallows over low heat, stirring frequently, until smooth. Stir in cereal. Spread cereal mixture on waxed paper. Cool 5 minutes.

Lightly spray hands with cooking spray and shape mixture into balls.

In a small microwaveable dish, microwave chocolate chips and shortening on high 1- 2 minutes, stirring until smooth. Drizzle chocolate over cereal balls. Let stand 30 minutes until chocolate is set.
