Pumpkin Krispie Treats
Author: Fresh4Five
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 2 hours
Total time: 2 hours 30 mins
Ingredients
  • ¼ C nut butter (I used a combo almond/cashew once and sun butter another time to be school friendly)
  • ¼ C pumpkin puree
  • ½ C pure maple syrup
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg
  • Dash of ground ginger
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tsp Agar flakes
  • 4 cups whole grain brown rice krispies (gluten free)
  • A couple of ounces of dark chocolate (dairy free) or the Enjoy life mega chunks
  • A few springs of mint.
Instructions
  1. In a small sauce pan combine all ingredients except for the dry rice cereal. Heat until it gets nice a bubbly, and let it bubble for just a minute. Stir constantly so it is well combined and does not burn. Set aside.
  2. Place the rice cereal in a large bowl. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well making sure all the cereal is evenly coated.
  3. Place in the fridge to harden and set for at least 1 hour.
  4. Shape the cereal into round balls with your hands. I found having damp hands made this easier (run under the tap, then patting excess water off with a towel) Place in the fridge again to set. Once firmed up, gently stick in the chocolate and mint leaves.
