How to Make Brown Rice Crispy Bar

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly grease a 13x9x2 inch baking pan with butter or oil and set aside.
  2. Spread 4 cups brown puffed rice evenly on a baking sheet.
  3. Toast in the preheated oven for 4-5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
  4. While the rice is toasting, prepare the marshmallow mixture. In a large heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), combine 2 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup honey, and 10 ounces of mini marshmallows.
  5. Stir constantly until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth (about 4-5 minutes).
  6. Remove from heat. Quickly stir in the toasted brown rice, 1 cup toasted slivered almonds, and 1 cup chopped dried fruit.
  7. Lightly grease your hands or a spatula with butter or oil. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Let the bars cool completely at room temperature (at least 2 hours) before cutting.
  9. Once cooled, cut into squares and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
