No-bake toffee Krispie bars recipe

Chewy and crispy cereal bars made with puffed rice and toffee, this is very easy and quick to make without any baking. Make these no-bake bars in 15 minutes and give them to the kids as a nice snack, or you can pop them in their lunchbox to take to school. Either way, a homemade treat is so much better than anything shop bought, so make sure you make enough because the kids (and even grown-ups in the house) will be coming back for them time and time again! This recipe makes a batch of 12 so you should have enough to keep the house going for a little while... Hopefully!
