Heart Crispy Treats

By devogirl

These heart shaped treats require only four ingredients and are made with naturally sweet freeze-dried strawberries or raspberries. They're perfect any time of year, but Valentine's Day is obviously an especially opportune occasion to make them.

Ingredients

• 1 1 1 cup brown rice syrup
• 1 1 1 cup smooth peanut butter (or any nut or seed butter)
• 4 4 4 cups organic crispy brown rice cereal
• 1 1 1 cup freeze dried raspberries or strawberries (can be found at trader joe's, whole foods or most any health food store)

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large bowl, combine the rice crisps and the freeze dried fruit.

2. In a large sauce pan, heat brown rice syrup and peanut butter over low heat and whisk until melted and combined, about 2 minutes.

3. Remove sauce pan from heat and pour over rice crisps in a large bowl. Stir with a plastic spatula until completely combined.

4. Pour into a greased 8 x 8 inch pan and press down to flatten the top (sometimes I put a zipper bag on my hand like a glove, to press into the pan and flatten the treats)

5. Cool for 5 minutes and cut into bars.

* If there are any unshaped pieces of the rice crispy treats you can have fun and roll them into balls.
