Rocky Road No-Bake Bars

These are great go-to summer bars, no-oven required and simple enough for small children to make!  The combination of chocolate, marshmallows, and nuts combined with the crunchiness of rice cereal makes this treat rich and delicious.  I use Karo® Corn Syrup to bind the ingredients together which also adds the perfect amount of sweetness and provide a delicious, chewy texture.
