Everyone is a health nut these days, so this pretty much makes it the norm. I have been searching for low sugar treats that still feel like dessert. Rice Crispies are one of my all time favorite treats and they are loaded with sugar...not a lot of fat, but definitely sugar. Here is what I have come up with.
Healthed Up Rice Crispies:
Adapted from Alton Browns recipe (www.foodnetwork.com)
6 cups of Envirokids Koala Crisps or Kashi puffed rice cereal
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup nuts (any kind)
7 oz small marshmallows
3 tbs flax seed oil
2 tbs honey
in a double broiler (pot of boiling water with a metal bowl on top) melt the marshmallows with the flax seed oil and honey until smooth. Mix cereal with nuts and cranberries in a bowl. Grease or line a 9" baking pan. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir. Grease hands and pour mixture into baking dish. Press mix into dish until smooth. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set.
