I used to make home made rice crispy treats ALL the time in high school, and after being haunted by them or other sticky cereal bars at every airport shop I began to salivate and had to healthify them. This isn't necessarily a health food recipe, it's more of a "better than" recipe to dodge all the junk in typical rice crispy treats.
what you need:
1 stick of organic butter (raw if possible)
2 packs of La Nouba Sugar-Free Marshmallows
(can get these on amazon, comes in a 6 pack.. save some for s'mores this summer!)
1/2 back of organic brown rice cakes, crumbled
1 tsp Trader Joe's Vanilla Bourbon Extract
what to do:
In a medium sauce pan melt down butter on med heat. While that is melting, crumble up rice cakes into a medium sized bowl. Add marshmallows to the butter and stir til smooth, then add in vanilla. Transfer marshmallow sauce over brown rice and mix well. Transfer into a glass dish and allow to cool in the refrigerator... if you can wait that long :)
love peanut butter rice crispy treats?! Me too! And carbs are best when eaten with protein so spread a layer of natural peanut butter on top!
