Red Cross Crispies for St. George!

These great Red Cross Crispies, in honor of St. George whose feast day is celebrated on April 23rd, were submitted by Tiffany at Family at the Foot of the Cross. Thank you Tiffany!

"This was the easiest "unplanned" snack I've ever made. I happened to have Rice Krispies on hand so I made them while the kids were doing their dramatic arts lesson. I just cut them into triangles with a touch of red icing to be the shield of the Red Cross Knight. I think it took a whole 15 minutes...Yay for simple!"
