Everybody knows and loves Rice Crispy Treats. Have you ever tried making them with a different cereal? What about a Alpha-Bits cereal? That’s exactly what we tried this week. Alpha-Bits provided the box of cereal and the recipe to try their version of crispy treats.
The recipe calls for “sugar-sweetened soft drink mix”. I have no idea what that is. When I hear the words soft drink I think Coke. Is there a mix to make your own soda? Are they talking about Kool-Aid? I was confused. I didn’t have any Kool-Aid on hand…but I did have Tang. Tang it would be in the recipe.
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter or margarine
- 1 package (10.5 oz.) miniature marshmallows
- 1/3 cup sugar-sweetened soft drink mix
- 8 cups Post Alpha-Bits cereal
- Line 13x9-inch pan with foil; lightly grease foil
- Microwave butter in large microwavable bowl for 45 seconds or until melted. Add marshmallows and soft drink mix; mix well.
- Microwave on hight for 1-1/2 minutes or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after 45 seconds. Stir in cereal.
- Press cereal mixtrue firmly into prepared pan. Cool. Cut into 12-15 squares.
- Store in airtight container at room temperature.

What’s a soft drink mix? They look yummy!!!! This is surely a recipe I can do- if I can find the soft drink mix!

I don’t know what soft drink mix is either. What the heck? Is there something out there that we have been missing our whole lives?
