Wait you had money for treats when you were unemployed?

Unemployed or not I like making my own rice crisp treats.

You can also make them w peanut butter and then it is more like the old "special crisp" bars you used to be able to get here in Canada.

I don't like the boxed rice crisp treats, they never seem that fresh, I usually just make 1 or 2 portions in the microwave or I might be tempted to eat the whole pan......

last time I bought some cocoa rice crisps by accident (natures path kind) was still pretty good....

I am having an intense craving for warm not all the way set yet rice Krispy krispie crispy assed kripsy treats.with Halloween sprinkles on top.i haven't made them in forever!

 

[s112095]

Once I get my box I'm willing to trade my stitch fix card for just about anything. I'm within the size range (mostly) but it's not really my thing.

 

[honeybee7]

Oh my ... Cocoa Krispy treats. Where have you been all my life.

 

[meaganola]

If you can get your hands on caramel sheets (like for wrapping caramel apples), they are *awesome* layered in the middle. I'm not sure whether those wrappers are even still made, but if they are ever going to be available, this is the time of the year. They're usually in the produce section with the apples.

 

[honeybee7]

No I'm not about to start,why?!!!!!!!!!!

 

[honeybee7]

With cinnamon sprinkled on the layers? Yum!!!

Lmao!!! Makes no sense! How did yours bypass Chicago? Lol. And mine finally updated and is in New Berlin, WI. And it decided to give me an estimated delivery date of Saturday now. Before it didn't have anything... Kinda strange. I think I've decided that I won't think "smart"post is very smart at all...
I got the same news. Really, I'd gladly go pick it up at the Chicago post office

Caramel rice crispy treats?? Hello Heaven! Those sound delicious! I made Trix rice crispy treats for my niece's bday last year and they were a hit! Sugar OVERLOAD, but so colorful & fun!

Did you try stretching it a little bit?  I can't remember if mine was that small when I opened it out of the bag, but I know mine stretched a smidge when I tried putting it on my wrist.  My bracelet is 7 inches exact, measured from the connection at the large disc to the knot before the loop.  End to end it measures 7.5 inches, and it fits my 7 inch wrist.  I don't have much wiggle room, lol, but it fits without cutting into my skin etc and is comfy.

Got my box tonight. I am in the minority here but I really like most of the stuff here. I will gift the makeup as I just bought a bunch of eye makeup and go for more high end/natural brands. I love the bobby pins, understated and could look chic. I'm hoping I like the nail polish, will test soon! I'm desperate for top coat! Cookbook is just what I need to get me out of a cooking rut! Friday, I'm hosting a small bday party and will try out a chicken dish. The bracelet is cute, simple but bright and though string, doesn't look cheap. I attend several breast cancer awareness events each year and this will be perfect, and even for just whenever! It's a great layering piece. I will be using the wet brush to see if it is any better then my aveda paddle brush. I always brush wet as my hair is super thick and straight. Maybe I'll love it? Idk. Could be a great gym bag item! The gift card I may or may not use. Seems complicated and I'm just looking for easy fun here, not work! And the Rice Krispie treat?! Who are we kidding?! How fun! My husband and I ate 2/3 of it tonight and I'm saving the rest for tomorrow. Makes me want to get into the Halloween treat season. I'm glad I resubbed for a year. Totally a splurge for me but it's a real highlight in my week when I recieve it! I don't have any other subs to compare it to but I'm happy with the variety! I bet a scent and cozy item will be in next months box.

Personally I think the brush is magical lol. I usually use a wide-toothed comb and end up pulling my hair a lot, even after using prep/protect spray. The wet brush just glided through tangles in my long, thick hair like it was no big deal. I was skeptical of the brush at first but I'm loving it now!

@meaganola @musthave @EmGee All this talk of rice krispie treats is almost unbearable! I definitely want to try the caramel layer in the middle - so yum!

@greeneyedfoxxx I may be in the minority as well because I really like this box, too! I hope you're right about a scent and cozy item being in the next box /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

PS what do you guys think of the new @ mentions - fun, right?!

 

[yousoldtheworld]

Cocoa rice crispy treats with caramel in the middle, please??? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Jess - I didn't get this month's box, but I would have liked to!! My sub doesn't start til next month. I always miss the cute bobby pins, dangit!!

. Yes, I did try to stretch it, pulling it as taunt as I could without fearing breakage. Still 6" tip to tip, 5.5" if not counting the loop to connect. My wrists are 6.5", and no matter how hard I try, the ends are so far apart on my wrist there's no way I'll ever connect the ends. It's like there's a child size that I somehow got. The beaded section is supposed to be 4", and mine is 3" & 5 millimeters long, fully stretched. Something's wrong. I contacted costumer service, but it looks like I'm out of luck.

I would rather have dark chocolate brownies. With walnuts. But only the chewy corner pieces... yummmmmm

Just because it's an item you could technically whip up in your kitchen for a couple bucks doesn't mean it's not good enough to include in the PopSugar box. It was the most delicious Rice Crispy treat I've ever had in my life! Bring on the poor people treats! 

Seriously!!! Doesn't sound too bad to be poor if I could eat these forever!!! So yummy.

I just got my box today. It's definitely better in person than in a picture or text but I still feel on the fence about extending my sub.... this was my first box and when I saw someone else list everything since January, I'm not so sure I would be so pleased for that long... I have til Nov 4, so maybe I will splurge on myself for my birthday, we'll see!

Love the cookbook, and I've been really curious about Stitch Fix, so this gives me incentive to try it out! I'm not doing trades until we've heard from someone who's used more than one Stitch Fix code successfully, but if that turns out to be possible, I have Charm & Chain and Gorjana codes I'd be willing to trade!

As for the variation items, I got the brown eyeliner (actually gifted it to my mom since I don't like liquid eyeliner), and for Julep polish I received Char, which is a really pretty cobalt blue.

I agree, that comment was a bit condescending. But Mac'n'Cheese is also a "poor people's food" and who doesn't like it? Just because it's cheap doesn't mean it isn't the whole nation's favorite /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

LOL...I just laughed at this because I was about to comment that I love rice krispie treats, but yes, I am a poor person...but...here's a confession: I don't like mac n cheese! And an even worse one: I don't like potatoes! Those two facts always blow people's minds! And I'm not even a super picky eater. Like, I'll eat mac n cheese or potatoes if you give them to me, but it's more a "meh, guess I should put this in my mouth" thing than anything I actually enjoy. haha. I am a terrible poor person! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />
