[Peanut-Butter Rice Krispie Treats.]

[Gluten-Free Nutella Oat Cookies.]

Um.  These were a mistake ... I should never had made them.  But now I officially have a NEW cookie favourite in the house.  The boys haven't stopped asking for "just one more" since I pulled the last batch out of the oven.

They're crispy on the outside and yummy-chocolatey-chewy on the inside ... mmmm.  I adapted this recipe from one online that called for peanut-butter.  These are "peanut-free" - but not "nut-free".  

And yup.  THIS one is my own IPhone pic of them ...
