These are great for special treats and are popular with adults and children. They are fun for children to make themselves since they require no baking. From Annabel Karmel's First Meals. Refrigeration time is not included in prep time. Ingredients:

1/4 cup rice krispies |
1/2 cup dried apricot, chopped |
1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional) |

4 ounces white chocolate (or regular) |
Directions:
1. Combine the oats, rice krispies, chopped apricots and nuts (if using) in a mixing bowl.
