My daughter absolutely loves rice krispie treats. However, I am concerned about an ingredient that I just found. Apparently they contain high fructose corn syrup. I had never looked at the ingredients before, but now that I have, I want all mothers everywhere to be aware of this ingredient. I'm trying to see if I can get Kellogg to substitute with something healthier.
