Almond Butter Rice Crisp Treats Food

ALMOND BUTTER RICE CRISP TREATS

Steps:

• Prepare an 8 inch by 8 inch square pan, by lining it with 2 pieces of parchment paper, one going each way.
• In a large pot over low-medium heat, add the brown rice syrup, almond butter, butter, maple syrup, and salt. Stir well until super smooth and heated through. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Stir in the rice crisp cereal until thoroughly combined.
• Scoop into pan and spread out evenly. Press down with lightly wet fingers or roll flat with pastry roller. Place in freezer to set for 5 minutes while you make the chocolate topping.
• In a small pot or double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil over low heat. Once 2/3 of the chips are melted, remove from heat and stir until smooth.
• Remove the pan from freezer and drizzle or spread with melted chocolate mixture. Sprinkle with coconut and place in the freezer until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Slice into squares. Bars will hold their shape quite well at room temperature, but you can store in the fridge to ensure the chocolate stays solid. Leftovers can be wrapped and stored in the fridge for 5 to 7 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

CHOCOLATE AND ORANGE BROWN RICE TREATS

Steps:

• Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with coconut oil. Line the baking dish with one strip of parchment paper and set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the rice cereal. In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the maple syrup to a simmer. Whisk in the almond butter, orange zest and salt until smooth. Remove from the heat and pour the mixture over the cereal. Using a rubber spatula, toss well to coat. When cool to the touch, stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared baking dish and refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into bars and serve.

VANILLA ALMOND RICE KRISPIES TREATS

Steps:

• Melt margarine in large non-stick pan (I use my T-Fal Dutch oven) over medium-low heat.
• Add marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
• Turn off flame.
• Stir in extracts.
• Fold in cereal and continue folding until well coated.
• Spray 13 X 9 pan with cooking spray and press mixture into pan (I spray my hand with a little Pam and then use my hand but you can use the back of a buttered spoon if you don't have asbestos fingers like mine).
• Cool and cut into squares.
