Here is a great recipe to involve kids. It only takes three items, and kids are almost always interested in the food they help create. I don’t think this recipe will take a lot of arm twisting to get them involved:)!
I’ve never been a die hard for marshmallows. I’ve enjoyed the standard rice crispy 
treats as a child, but they haven’t really appealed to me, until just lately. Oh how I love recipes with few ingredients. The original recipe I found at French Press calls for 4 ingredients, but it’s just as great with 3 (in my opinion), as I omitted the cocoa powder since I found chocolate cereal!
Before I even saw this recipe, for the first time
a few weeks ago, I bought a box of cereal that would work for it. It is the EnviroKidz Organic Koala Crisp Cereal I saw at WinCo! I also saw it at Trader Joe’s. Then I found a Mom’s Best Cereal (that I’ve only seen at Albertson’s, not Fred Meyer), Crispy Cocoa Rice, that would work, too. I went with the Koala Crisp for this one, since they were already opened!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of almond butter (I bet peanut butter would work, too, or a host of other butters out there now)
- 1/2 agave syrup (honey and maple syrup would work, too)
- 3 cups chocolate rice crispy cereal
Instructions
- Grease an 8x8 pan.
- Heat the almond butter and agave.
- Stir until smooth.
- Put your cereal in a big mixing bowl.
- Pour the butter mixture over the cereal.
- Pat well into the pan.
- Chill in the refrigerator for about 1/2 hour.
- Enjoy!
- Store in an air tight container at room temperature, in the fridge, or freezer.
The Verdict:
This is so so yummy, and the prep time is so fast. Of course the kids LOVED it! They are such a fun treat!!
