These healthy rice crispy treats made with peanut butter and honey are soft, chewy and so delicious!  This wholesome, made-over version of the classic is a fun and easy recipe to make with kids and is guaranteed to hit the spot for you too!

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups organic crispy rice cereal (I used half brown and half white rice cereal)
  • ½ cup peanut butter (you can substitute with any nut butter of your choice)
  • ½ cup of raw honey

Preparation:

  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Put the crispy rice cereal in a large bowl.
  • Melt the peanut butter with the honey in a small saucepan on the stove and then pour the mixture into the crispy rice cereal and combine well. (The peanut butter I used was very soft so I didn’t need to melt first.)
  • Pour mixture onto the parchment paper and press firmly into place. 
  • Refrigerate or freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up.  Using a sharp knife, cut into squares and serve.
  • Store in the refrigerator or freezer.
