These are a healthy alternative to the standard Rice Krispy Treats. These are made with 1 ingredient brown rice plus protein-packed peanut butter. I have also tried puffed wheat or kamut. Both are acceptable substitutes for the rice and up the fiber intake. Makes a great snack, dessert, or even breakfast-on-the-go. My family loves them…including me and I’m not a fan of peanut butter!
