SO I FOLLOWED THE RECIPE AND I ADDED ABOUT 1-2 TEASPOONS OF VANILLA EXTRACT AND A DASH OF SALT. BEFORE I STARTED I PUT A PIECE OF PARCHMENT PAPER ON THE 13X9 PAN AND THEN ADDED THE RICE CRIPY RECIPE IN THE PAN. THEN I GOT ANOTHER PIECE OF PARCHMENT PAPER TO PRESS THE RICE CRISPIES FLAT ON THE PAN...I THEN CUT IT INTO SQUARE PIECES WITH MY PIZZA CUTTER(PERFECT FOR THIS)  THEN I ADDED JUMBO POPSICLE STICKS ON THEM AND  DRIZZLE THEM WITH MELTING CHOCOLATE CANDY AND RAINBOW NONPERILS!
