Happy February everyone! I am kicking it off with a healthy snack that is fun to eat, easy to make and won’t give you any of the guilt (who needs that) of indulging. Guilt around food has become a hot topic. I have always been honest with you guys saying I am no nutritionist but I do follow a bunch. Shame around food and what we put in and on our bodies has become the trend in 2021 and I for one am here for it.
Snacking is a must for me. I have shared with you about my alcoholism and giving up cigarettes, drugs and the like. Coffee has been on the chopping block once or twice but I pulled the trigger on that one. A girl has to have at least one vice (ok, maybe two) and for me snacks and coffee, well, suffice to say, they are staying.

what a creative idea. I’m going to print the recipe and make it this week. Thank you!
I am excited for you to give them a try! Thanks Diane 🙂
We have local honey, but not local syrup. Do you think that would be an easy substitution?
Absolutely Danielle and it would be so delicious I’m sure! Enjoy 🙂
I’m struggling to find nice puffed rice, which brand do you use please.
Hey Tulasi – I highly recommend this brand! It’s typically what I use. I hope you like them https://naturespath.com/en-ca/products/puffed-rice-cold-cereal-np-ca
Why do they need to be frozen
Hey Caroyln, it helps everything bind together since they do not go in the oven!
These are so deliciously addictive. I made them today using regular Rice Krispies and smuckers natural creamy peanut butter. My very picky kids couldn’t stop eating them! Thanks for this wonderful recipe!
Hi Carrie! I am so happy I am not alone in the addiction and even happier that your kids are loving them!
Do you think hemp hearts could be used or should I find hemp seeds?
hey Lori, you absolutely can use hemp hearts instead of seeds!
Just wanted to mention that I checked all the ingredients and other than the puffed rice (which is medium), they are all low FODMAP foods. Very good news for folks on a low FODMAP diet. I’ll be making these for someone I love. Thank you.
This is incredible news and very exciting because they really are delicious! Please enjoy 🙂
I added a scoop of chocolate protein powder and they came out delicious!
Just put them in freezer. I did use all organic natural products. I cannot wait!!!
I’m WFPB no oil and allergic to all things coconut. Could I omit the coconut oil or sub with apple sauce?
Hey Caroline, instead of coconut oil add melted butter. Increase the melted butter up to 1/4 cup. Should be very very good!
Also the other crispy treat on the blog is made completely with browned butter and tahini; that should fix the problem entirely!
I’m making these right now. However I’ve tweaked it a bit. I have a homemade Maple Pecan Butter I’ll be using & I drizzled a bit of Tahini in with my recipe and I’ll be drizzling a dark chocolate with Hemp hearts & a little of my flaked Fluer de Sel I was gifted from a Sweet friend. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe it smells Divine already 😋.
Hey Donna, Thanks for the feedback! I love to see what the community does with my recipes
The puffed rice is so good and these are incredibly delicious! I followed the recipe to a T and they turned out great!
These should have a warning label… They are DELICIOUS!!!! Like ate the whole pan in 24hrs

Is it possible to get the nutrition and calorie information? Thanks!

I absolutely love these. Very versatile and super quick to throw together. My kids have enjoyed them so I am excited to have a nice easy go to snack for summer and school. Excited to have them help me make them also ☺️
Hey Joanna! I am so glad that you enjoyed these snacks – they are literally perfect for anytime!! Thank you so much for the review and rating 🙂
Could I substitute almond butter for peanut butter?
Yes absolutely! Let me know how it goes 🙂
I can’t wait to make these, however I never have that kind of extra room in my freezer to store. Will these still work if I just keep in the refrigerator?
Hi Thea, you can absolutely store these in your fridge! Let me know how you like the recipe 🙂
Sub almond butter for peanut butter?
Hi Daisy, yes you can sub the nut butter for any other one of your preference
I’ve made these several times now and they are delicious. I toasted the cereal for 15 mins in a 300 degree oven and it seemed to help keep that crunch. I used a 9” springform with parchment and sprinkled with flaky salt.
Hi Sally, thanks so much for sharing your modifications and taking the time to rate and review this recipe!
Really good! Used homemade pb, hemp hearts and sprinkled with salt flakes before chilling.
Hey Sally, thanks so much for sharing your modifications on this recipe and good for you making your own PB!!
Made these this morning and just tried one…..all I can say is YUMMY! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!! I used to enjoy the typical rice krispy treats but am trying to eat cleaner these days. This was simple to put together and it was just the thing to answer my sweet tooth with!
HI! So happy you love them. I am coming out with a black sesame seed version soon so stay tuned for that!
These are I.N.S.A.N.E! 🤤
Thank you for bringing these into my life!
THANKS MEL! So happy that you enjoyed this recipe!!!
These are very good will definitely make again.
Can they be made with almond butter for someone with a peanut butter allergy?
Of course! Make them with any nut or seed butter you’d like. Thanks so much for taking the time to rate and review Gayle!
