Rice Crispy Treats were a childhood favourite of mine. They were easy to make, although I do recall my babysitter once burning the marshmallows and ruining the pot she melted them in but all in all, it was a pretty simple and satisfying treat for an impatient child. These treats taste incredibly similar to the treats I indulged in 20 years ago but also happen to be gluten free, vegan and even healthy. There are no marshmallows, butter or added sugar in this recipe.
Makes one 9-inch square pan, equaling 9 treats.
