A healthy alternative to a Rice Krispy Treat!
I grew up eating Rice Krispy treats. Ever since I switched to a healthier, less processed menu I have been substituting some of my favorite unhealthy foods for new, healthier alternatives. These Crispy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars are a perfect example of that! I’m so in love with them that I’m going to start working on fun flavor combinations. One of my girls doesn’t like peanut butter (crazy, I know) so I am going to start by eliminating that on my next go around. Gluten free? Try this gluten free rice cereal option!
