Healthy Cereal Treats

Posted on Wednesday, September 24, 2008 at 3:41 PM

in My Special Recipe Box - Post Comment

We all want our children to have healthy snacks!  However, it's much too easy to just pick up prepackaged snacks at the grocer's or run through a drive-thru somewhere.  Well, I've found a recipe that is not only quick and easy to prepare, but much healthier for your children (and you!) than anything prepackaged.  I'll give the original recipe as it was shared with me, and in parentheses will note the changes/choices I made.  My grandchildren absolutely love these--they've quickly become a favorite after-school treat in my home!

Crispy Rice Treats

1/2 cup honey

1/2 cup Natural chunky-style peanut butter (I used Smucker's Natural and increased it to 3/4 cup)

6 cups crispy brown rice cereal (I used Kashi 7-Grain cereal)

2/3 cup chopped dried cherries (or dried blueberries, raisins, dried cranberries, or carob chips)

Cooking spray

Combine honey and peanut butter in a large pot and heat over medium-low heat until melted, about 2-3 minutes.  Add cereal and cherries and stir to combine until mixture is sticky.  Press into a 9"x13" pan sprayed with cooking spray.  Let cool, and then chill in refrigerator about 30 minutes.  Cut into squares (or rectangles, or diamonds, or use cookie cutters for fun shapes).  Enjoy!

 

Hugs,Cynthia Robin
