My brother's birthday is just 29 days after mine. When we were little this meant lots of birthday cakes in the spring, which is easily my favourite type of dessert. My brother never really liked cakes, so that meant I got lots of his leftovers.
My brother recently celebrated his birthday, and, as a non-baker creating a treat for someone who doesn't like cake, I immediately thought of Rice Krispie Squares, his favourite treat.
It was quick to make and easy to deliver.
