Chocolate Chip Cocoa Crispy Treats

I will admit, I was simply trying to use up a small amount of Cocoa Crispies (off brand, Cocoa Diamonds) left in the box and this yummy treat was born. They came out so good, now the family wants these over the regular kind. They even want these over s’mores. […]
