Remember when I mentioned how once upon a time I tried to health-ify every recipe? Luckily I learned my lesson and left some things well enough alone because swapping out every ingredient would leave dishes resembling nothing of the original. However, every once in a blue moon you find a nutritionally-improved combo that totally works. You know, one that really tastes like what you are shooting for. In this case, that is this version<\/a> of a Rice Krispy Treat.<\/p>\n

I made them and they were SO spot on delicious. I figured there was a little wiggle room to play with the recipe, so I did. I wasn\u2019t shooting for vegan so I used real butter instead of oil and since I have an unquenchable desire to add chia seeds to everything, I added them too.<\/p>\n

\"coconut<\/a><\/p>\n

I chose to use coconut nectar instead of brown rice syrup because I have a penchant for experimenting with new ingredients.<\/p>\n

It worked.<\/p>\n

These gems would be perfect for a centerpiece at a holiday table or just an addition to the dessert table anywhere.<\/p>\n

In short, make them. They are easy. Your kids will like them. And if you hate coconut, have no fear. These don\u2019t really taste coconutty at all.<\/p>\n

They are, however, soft, chewy and delicious. I enjoyed eating several myself, along with all the uneven sides I cut off while making them. And for some reason I thought you\u2019d need photographic proof of that claim soooooo\u2026.. here you go.<\/p>\n

Ok, ok I just wanted to show off that I actually dried my hair.<\/p>\n

Let’s just focus on these beauties!<\/p>\n
