Spread this mixture easily—just spray the back of a large spoon with cooking
spray, then press the mixture into the pan with the back of the spoon.
Go ahead and substitute some of your kids' favorite treats—use mini candy-coated
chocolate baking bits instead of the mini chocolate chips for extra color.
