A nice batch of sticky, sweet Golden Gram Treats

I thought I’d try to make something new tonight after making Rice Krispie Treats yesterday.  I have had Golden Gram S’mores a long time ago, which mixed Golden Grams, marshmallows, and chocolate chips into a s’more-like treat.  However, I thought, since I had some Golden Grams unopened in the pantry, I would try to use the same steps I use to make Rice Krispie Treats, but just substitute in Golden Grams.  Whadda ya know?  They are actually pretty good!  They look like they are glazed like doughnuts you would get at Krispy Kreme.  So, what is the fate of these delightful goods?  I will be donating them to my school’s Lions Club bake sale which will be taking place in Eberly this Thursday.  They’ll totally be worth the $0.25 or whatever.
