Here is another version of my Easter Rice Crispy treats!  I just love that I don’t have to turn on the oven or dirty a pan to make these treats, however, you will get your hands dirty of gooey yumminess!

So ask the kids to help and see who licks their fingers faster!  I was scolded by my daughter as she said,  “No fair you have a bigger tongue than me!”  She does have a point and I was not complaining!

Notes
If you can get your hands on One Degree Organic Sprouted Rice Cereal this treat just got 100x better for you! I have made these with the plain rice and cocao flavor which adds extra sweetness. Also, switching up vanilla to almond extract is tasty with the almond butter. I love using coconut nectar instead of maple syrup it works great and is lower on the glycemic scale than maple syrup or honey. Using sun butter will give you a nut free treat but feel free to use any of your favorite nut butters. Please use organic where you can.

With a mouthful of gooey health,

Dawn-Signature

 

 

 

 

P.S. This is the One Degree Organic Foods cereal we suggest!
Try the cocao flavor for extra sweetness!
