I found this recipe for a Valentine's day treat a while back and decided this was the year to make it. The directions said to shape the treat like a Hershey's kiss using a funnel. I thought I had a few funnels around the house, but all I could find was a really big one. I opted to use some heart shaped pans instead to create two large rice krispie treats .
We liked the results so much that I made them again the next day, this time using a cookie cutter to shape them like hearts. This created 2 dozen tiny cookies. It was a very sticky job, but fun!

| Peanut butter crispy rice treat |
I used natural peanut butter since I prefer the sugar free, no corn syrup brands. It may turn out differently with regular peanut butter with no oil separation. I also used Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice Cereal since it is gluten and sugar free.

Mix together 3 tablespoons each peanut butter and honey, and 2 cups crispy rice cereal. Pack some of the cereal mixture into a small funnel to mold it. Carefully remove the cereal "kiss" shape. Continue making kisses with the rest of the mixture. Freeze kisses until firm, about 2 hours. Keep frozen until served.
Fun!!! Cute, Nutritious & Delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteYou said it. It is a great recipe to involve kids in the kitchen since you are not over a hot stove and there are only a few ingredients. It's also great to enjoy without little ones.
