I’ve loved Rice Krispie treats for my entire life. They remind me so much of my childhood. They are ideal to pack in work or school lunch boxes and make a great snack between meals or even as an after-dinner treat.
They are treats and obviously not advised for breakfast. But this recipe is different. Here you have a healthy version that you and your kids will adore. Prepare your pantry with plenty of Rice Krispies. This recipe will make a difference!
I´ve named these: Rice Krispies Breakfast Bars. I replaced the marshmallow and butter with peanut butter, dried fruits and honey. They can make a delightful and appetizing morning breakfast. Make sure you practice a lot of self-control. They are irresistibly addictive!
Ingredients:
7 cups Rice Krispies
2/3 cup honey
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup chopped dried fruit (I used cranberries)
Step 1
Take a medium saucepan, combine honey and sugar. Cook over medium heat and gently stir in a circular motion until the mixture begins to boil. Continue cooking and stirring for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat.
Step 2
Pour in the peanut butter, the dried fruit, and the raisins into the hot mixture. Stir well.
Step 3
Add the Rice Krispies cereal and mix gently until cereal is evenly coated.
Step 4
Using a rubber spatula, transfer the cereal mixture into a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and press down evenly. Let the Rice Krispies cool. Cut into 2 1/2 x 1 1/2-inch bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
