A childhood memory I wanted to share with my kid. This is a good recipe to let your kids help you make. These are not as sweet as your original treats but still taste amazing either way. It is kid tested and approved! Enjoy!
Rice Crispy Treats
3 1/2 cups organic puffed brown rice
3/4 cups natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky, whatever you like)
1/2 cup honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Start with an 8 by 8 pan. Then get a big piece of parchment paper to cover the bottom. Have enough to cover the top too!
- Put the puffed rice into a large bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan combine the honey and peanut butter over low to medium heat until nice and creamy. Remove from heat and add vanilla.
- Pour over the puff rice. Mix until the rice is all coated. Pour into prepared pan.
- Now with the extra parchment paper, place it over the mixture and push down to firm it up.(My kid's favorite part)
- Refrigerate for a few hours, then cut into squares and enjoy!
Hi! Just found your blog and it's so cute! What brand cereal do you use? I have a hard time finding a healthy and TASTY brown rice cereal.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Aww Thank You! I bought the Arrowhead Mills Puffed Rice. I had gotten it from my local health food store. The cereal itself isn't that great, but when you get the other ingredients mixed in it kinda makes up for it. I have given the cereal to my son in milk with strawberries and bananas and he liked it quit a bit. I hope that helps some!
DeleteHi Kristina! I found your blog through Heavenly Homemakers. She has a link to your chocolate chip cookie dough bites on your facebook page. Your recipes are exactly what I am looking for. Our family is slowing trying to learn to eat "Nourishing Traditions" style and we are trying to heal our son (ADHD,SPD) through diet.

ooops! I just realized there is another Nourishing Home on facebook where I got the chocolate chip cookie dough bites recipe.
ReplyDeleteI guess I found 2 great blogs this morning!
Totally not trying to be the spelling police, but check #2...the part where you are saying to aDD vanilla.. :) Just thought that was one that you might like corrected! Totally love this..we had friends bring over the sugary version of Rice Krispie Treats and I kept thinking I wished there was a way to make them so they were real food approved...and of course you provided the recipe I needed, thank you!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for pointing that out! I definitely do not want that on my blog! A big oops! I am so glad you like the recipe. Thank you for visiting my blog!
