THE CRISPERY TREATS $3 & up
In 1995, The Crispery was founded by me...my name is Vicki Mate. Its creation was due to the fact that I was a mom who had a strong passion for marshmallow... yes, marshmallow. Even as a young girl my most favorite desserts were those classic marshmallow crispy treats. Remember the ones you made from the recipe on the back of the breakfast cereal box. Well... my love affair with marshmallow never really ended. It went on and on, through college, graduate school and eventually to the real world. So with my flair for business and a talent in cooking; it was inevitable my mission was to set out to create the most delectable marshmallow crispy bar ever. So many products to pick from.
