1. I've been meaning to put this recipe up here for almost two weeks now, but I get distracted easily.
2. I have hair color on my hair so I have to make this one quick
3. I have made these delicious gooey treats four times in the ten days. Yes, they are THAT good.
4. Josh and I are headed to Washington (state) on friday morning and I have yet to pack.
5. These take less than five minutes to make and are quite healthy (compared to traditional rice crispy treats that is)
Okay, enough of that list. These little treats are quick, easy, healthy and hands down my favorite "dessert" right now. My husband and our friend Drew gave these two thumbs up, which is why I've made so many batches. I hope you love them as much as we do.
Brown rice crispy treats
1/3 cup brown rice syrup
1/3 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups brown rice crisp cereal (regular rice crispy cereal would do fine, I'm sure)
1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Heat brown rice syrup and peanut butter over medium heat until it looks like a thick syrup, about 2-3 minutes. Add vanilla.
Spray a medium sized bowl with oil and add the rice cereal, pour syrup mixture on top, (add chocolate chips now if you want them melted in, or add after syrup mixture is incorporated if you want to keep their shape) and mix until evenly coated and chocolate is melted in.
Press into oiled 9x9 dish. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
that does look very easy to make, and quite yummy too!
ReplyDeleteI don't have brown rice syrup. Can I sub regular white corn syrup?
ReplyDeleteI am absolutely making these as soon as I possibly can. I thought when I gave up meat (and meat-derived products such as gelatine in marshmallows) my rice krispie treat days were over but I'm so happy to see they aren't!
ReplyDeleteJennifer jo -
ReplyDeletei'm not sure regular corn syrup would work, i havent tried though.
you could sub maple syrup with similar results but it may not stick together as well since brown rice syrup is much stickier than maple. it would still be delicious however.
if you try, let me know!
where do you get brown rice syrup? i've never seen it. those sound yummy!

ReplyDeleteDID YOU STEAL THIS RECIPE FROM ALICIA SILVERSTONE'S BOOK?
ReplyDeletethis time i got the idea for this recipe somewhere in the internet. However it is the same ingredients from The kind diet recipe, the proportions are quite different.
ReplyDeleteFor future reference, if i have a recipe up that i adapted from a cookbook it will say under the recipe title.
These are ridiculously easy and insanely delicious! Thanks for sharing. Where else do you use brown rice syrup?
