Eat Your Worms - Bookworm marshmallow treats, that is

Worms are delicious — when they're our bookworms made from crispy rice and marshmallows. Make a batch so your child can sink their teeth into a treat while devouring a good book.

I love these cute worms. They would be great to take to a class for a snack.
