"Rice crispy" treats

One of my families favorite desserts is rice crispy treats. I think we could all eat an entire pan in one sitting. I decided to clean up our favorite treat and came up with these little healthy treats that taste delicious! 

Ingredients:

-2 cups puffed rice

-1 cup of whatever crushed raw nuts you'd like ( I used walnuts and sunflower seeds)

-1/2 cup brown rice syrup

-1/2 cup sunflower seed butter ( you could also use almond butter)

1. Mix the brown rice syrup and nut butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat.

2. While that's on the stove top mix together the puffed rice and nuts in a bowl.

3. Once the nut butter mixture starts to bubble pour it over the puffed rice and nuts and stir until well combined. 

4. Now you can either put the mixture in a small pan or like I did,

put it into muffin tins to make indivuidual treats. Make sure to spray the pan with non stick cooking spray! 

5. Pop in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until they're cool. Enjoy! 

Healthy Peanut Butter Cups

yup! you heard that right... healthy peanut butter cups! i of course like anything chocolate and these definitely satisfy my sweet tooth without the guilt.

Ingredients:
-4 TBSP coconut oil
-1/4 raw cocoa powder
-1/2 cup natural peanut butter
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 1/2 TBSP coconut sugar

1. in a small sauce pan melt the coconut oil over low heat. once melted add in the rest of the ingredients and stir until everything is mixed together.

2. put cupcake liners into a muffin tin and evenly distribute the mixture into about 8 of the muffin tins.

3. put in the freezer for 30 minutes or until the chocolate if firm.

4. keep the peanut butter in the fridge so the coconut oil doesn't melt again.

5. ENJOY!!
