Oh my goodness - these Rice Krispies Treat Soaps look sooo much like the real thing! I made huge messes in the process of making these but at least I had a lot of fun! I scented them with a new Banana Nut Bread fragrance I got and it smells like I just baked a loaf of Banana Nut Bread in the oven! They look and smell delicious but *please do not eat them* :)!
