Notes
I originally made this recipe with 2 cups of cereal and it was my favorite. However, it is extremely sticky, not just in the pan (I didn't lined or grease the pan- don't do that), but it was also sticky when eating. If you don't mind this, then I highly recommend it. Otherwise, this recipe with 3 cups is just as good. Not overly sticky but with some gooeyness.
