How to Make Good For You Crispy Treats Rice Krispy Bars

  1. Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan with 1 tablespoon of butter (or dairy-free alternative).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 6 cups brown rice cereal, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup flax meal. Mix well.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup nut butter (any kind), 1/4 cup rice syrup, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons butter (or dairy-free alternative).
  4. Stir over low heat, constantly, until the butter, honey and rice syrup are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and well combined. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Pour the nut butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir gently but thoroughly to coat all the cereal evenly.
  6. Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared pan, using your hands or a spatula to ensure it reaches the corners and is compacted.
  7. Place the pan in the freezer for 30 minutes to allow the treats to set completely.
  8. Remove from freezer, let sit for 5 minutes at room temperature to make cutting easier.
  9. Cut into bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
