Healthier Rice Krispie Squares Recipes

HEALTHY RICE CRISPY TREATS

Steps:

• Add the Dates, Almond Butter, Vanilla Extract, and Salt to a Food Processor or Blender. Combine until a thick, even paste is formed - it will not be sticky to the touch.
• Transfer the paste to a large bowl, then add 2 cups of Crispy Rice Cereal. Knead the Cereal into the paste using your hands. Once evenly incorporated, continue to add in Cereal in 1/2 cup to 1 cup increments. I needed around 4 cups of Cereal in total; this allowed all of the Cereal pieces to be coated with a thin layer of the paste, but not too much.
• Line a 8×8″ pan with parchment paper, then press the Rice Crispy Mixture into it. Cover with another layer of Parchment Paper and "punch" the Cereal down until it is really compact and evenly spread.
• Top with Melted Chocolate, if desired. Remove from the pan, use a sharp knife to cut into squares, and enjoy! Store in a container with a loose lid at room temperature for up to 6 days.
