The trick is getting the consistency right with the oats/cereal, and you may try adjusting the proportions to find what works with the rice cereal. As far as the cardamom, that's just the way that we were taught to make it, and I rather enjoy the flavor. However, substituting cinnamon or another spice might work for you. Let me know if you come up with a version that you really like. Michele -

We couldn't form them into balls until we put the mix in freezer for a couple of hours. My sweet-toothed daughter thought they were almost too sweet. And 2T seemed like a lot of cardomom so we cut it to 1/4 t. and we're still kind or perplexed as to why that spice is used in this recipe. The other variation we did was used Erewhom Rice Crispy cereal instead of oats. DS can't have any kind of oats. Feedback?! Thx! Michele These didn’t seem to work for us the way they’re supposed to.

We used to have so much fun making it and we didn't need any help (well cleaning maybe). Thank you, I think I'd forgotten about it.
