Notes

To make this recipe gluten-free. It's essential to use certified gluten-free versions of both cocoa cereals. And Rice Krispies. Many standard cereals contain barley malt. Which has gluten. Making them unsuitable for those with gluten sensitivities. Or celiac disease. Luckily, there are gluten-free alternatives. Available in most grocery stores or online. These substitutes taste just as delicious. And ensure that everyone can enjoy these treats. Without worry. Always check the packaging. For the gluten-free certification. To be sure.
