All you need are 3 wholesome ingredients to make these delicious chocolate peanut butter brown rice crispy treats, a dessert the entire family will love!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Brown Rice Crispy Treats. Say that 5 times fast.

I’m just going to come out and say it- I’m a rice crispy treat whore. It’s true…I love them and I make them on the regular. Since I’m Fit Foodie Lee, I’ve obviously Fit Foodiefied the classic rice crispy treat recipe and made them much healthier than the classic…but don’t kid yourself, I ate the real thing this weekend. I got to Man Candy’s house and he had a big ol’ platter of them sitting on the counter. I couldn’t stop myself and I had 2 right away…and then 1 after dinner 😛

Nothing like pure sugar and unrefined grains 😛

But seriously- that’s why I come up with healthy desserts that mimic the real thing. So you can eat a dang rice crispy treat and not feel bad for a second. So what exactly did I use to make these babies?

• brown rice cacao crisps
• brown rice syrup
• all-natural peanut butter

If you’re feeling sassy you can add chocolate chips, vanilla, nuts, etc. I kept my simple so I could make a base recipe and then deviate from that every time I make them. IE: switching up the peanut butter for cashew or almond butter! I tested this recipe a few times and I wanted to share my favorite cereals to use for this: One Degree Sprouted Brown Rice Cacao Crisps and Love Grown Comet Crispies. LOVE both of those cereals like woh.

If you watched the above video- then you will understand how epically easy this recipe is to make. No need to melt anything…literally just throw everything in a bowl and mix. I will say that for best results- you should store this dessert in the freezer so that they stay held together better! Honestly, they are super tasty partially frozen.
