Cow Pies (GF)

Sometimes you just need a little chocolate and a little crunch, and this treat will give you both. Chances are you’ve even got the ingredients in your pantry, and I bet if you don’t have any rice cereal something else would probably do just as well. This only takes a few minutes to stir together and maybe an hour for it to set in the refrigerator (I know, waiting is the hardest part…).

BTW, did you know that rice cereal now comes in a Gluten Free option?? Why, yes, it does, which is what I used here! So even you GF eaters out there can enjoy a little snack like this 🙂 Woot-woot!
